Airdrie striker Callum Smith revealed memories of their Dunfermline flop and other collapses from winning positions this season helped inspire their hammering of Kelty Hearts.
Last month the Diamonds let a 3-0 lead slip against the Pars after going down to 10 men and they were left shell-shocked by a 4-3 defeat.
So with the players sitting in the dressing room at half-time on Saturday 3-0 up, Smith said they were instructed to make sure they finished off Kelty and that aided their 6-1 rout.
