Striker Callum Smith admits he was shocked to learn that team-mate Rhys McCabe had landed the Airdrie manager’s job in the summer, but is loving life at the Diamonds.
McCabe took over on a player-boss role after Ian Murray and assistant Scott Agnew left for Championship side Raith Rovers.
But Smith says McCabe’s playing style has been enjoyable to play in and is looking forward to banging in the goals to take Airdrie up to the Championship.
