Airdrie boss Ian Murray tipped his hat to League One champions Cove Rangers, and said the title battle between the two sides could result in play-off glory for the Diamonds.
Murray's side thumped Clyde 5-0 at Broadwood this afternoon, but Cove's 1-0 triumph over Dumbarton means they were crowned champions, with a five-point lead going into the final round of games.
Airdrie have barely dropped a point since Christmas, because any slip-up would have resulted in Cove streaking ahead, so the standard has been really high, even if it didn't result in a title win.
