Airdrie assistant manager Scott Agnew insists “anything can happen in football” after their hopes of catching Cove Rangers suffered a huge blow on Saturday.
The Diamonds had cut the gap at the top of the table to two points last week but Cove went five points clear again at the weekend after Airdrie fought back twice to draw 2-2 with Montrose.
Dylan Easton missed a crucial penalty that would have handed them a vital victory they needed, and Airdrie now need a miracle to deny Cove – currently on a 23-game unbeaten streak – the title with just three games remaining.
