Diamonds hope to end rough patch
Airdrie's Keighan Parker returns from suspension as the Diamonds look to defeat visitors Stirling and collect their first win of the season.
John Boyle is definitely out with a knee injury while David Proctor will require a late fitness test.
Boss Gary Bollan said: "We are not getting any breaks in front of goal and conceding too many at the other end. We scored at Dunfermline last week when it was 0-0 but it was disallowed for offside, wrongly in our opinion.
"Stirling will be confident after their 5-4 win at Stenhousemuir, however we can win."
Stirling will include former Diamond Lewis Coult should he overcomes a foot injury.
The Forthbank men will be without the injured duo Steven Doris (shoulder) and Phil Johnston (groin).
Graham Weir will also miss out because of work commitments as manager Greig McDonald warns against complacency.
McDonald explained: "Airdrie will see the visit of the side promoted via the play-offs as the perfect game to get their first win. However if we attack like we did at Stenhousemuir last weekend we have a chance."
