Gary Bollan got the Airdrie job at the end last week and I see he started his tenure with a 1-0 home defeat on Saturday.

It's strange that it's taken him this long to get another job given so many people consider him to have been a 'success' with us. Think he's got a tough job there because by all accounts, Airdrie have a poor, poor squad of players. They play The Rangers next in the cup too - that could be a battering.

THE FALCON CANNOT HEAR THE FALCONER

It is a pertinent question: given his success at Livingston, why has Gary Bollan found it so difficult to gain employment in football management? Since February 2012, there have been 29 managerial changes in Scottish football (including three at Almondvale) – it seems difficult to believe that his acrimonious departure from Livi would have tainted his future prospects, but it is perplexing that he has been overlooked on numerous occasions (vacancies at Brechin City and Dumbarton immediately spring to mind).

Cracking read. He had a squad that most managers should have been able to guide back to the first division. The squad he's inherited at Airdrie are going backwards though and he faces a real battle to keep them in that division this year.
