Airdrie v Cove Rangers: How to watch League One title crunch and who is the ref

Airdrie head into one of their biggest games in recent history on Saturday when they welcome League One leaders Cove Rangers to New Broomfield.

The Diamonds sit five points behind Cove going into the game, but a win would eat that up and provide a nervy finish to the season for both teams as they bid to determine where the title lands.

Ian Murray's side are on a run of real form and are 14 unbeaten going into the game.

However, Paul Hartley's side are on a 20-game unbeaten run in the league, and last dropped three points back in October.

Cove also have the upper hand in games between them, with a 1-0 home win back in September and a 2-0 triumph at New Broomfield on November 20, with a 1-1 draw the last time the sides met on February 5.

That serves up a mouth-watering clash between two in-form sides, which is sure to be played in front of a bumper crowd.

However, if you can't make it along to see the action, you can buy a live stream here for £15.
