Cove Rangers ace: Airdrie will have to be at their best to beat us

Cove Rangers star Shay Logan insists Airdrie will have to be at their best to beat his side and open up the League One title race.

Rangers go into the New Broomfield clash with a five-point lead over the Diamonds, and on an unbeaten run of 20 games.

Airdrie are on a similarly brilliant run of 14 without defeat themselves, and a home win would reduce the gap to two points with five games left.

But former Aberdeen and Hearts right-back Logan, 34, says Cove didn't put themselves on top of the league by accident.

He told the club's website: "We know we've got a strong squad and - whether it be home or away - we will make it hard for anyone to beat us.

"You don't get to 20 games without losing if that isn't the case.

"The challenge now is to see if we can keep that run going at Airdrie, although we won't be treating it any differently to any other.

"It doesn't matter if we are playing Airdrie, Falkirk or Montrose, we go in with the same focus, with the same aim to come away with the three points.

"We are in great form and they have also been on an excellent run, so it should be an exciting 90 minutes.

"If we are to keep winning we know we will need to be at our very best.

"But Airdrie will also know they will have to deliver their best if they are to have any chance of beating us."
