Airdrie skipper: Falkirk aren't Barcelona so we have no fears facing in-form league leaders

Airdrie skipper Adam Frizzell says high-flying Falkirk "aren't Barcelona" so insists his struggling Diamonds hold no fears of getting a result at the league leaders today.

The Bairns battered Morton 6-0 last week to march six points clear at the top of the Championship and now face a rock-bottom Airdrie side on a run of one win in their last 14 games - and who haven't netted in their last three games.

But Frizzell says John McGlynn's free-scoring frontrunners aren't invincible and he believes they can pull off an upset in Grangemouth.

Asked if it was a daunting game for his side given the contrasting form, Frizzell said: "Not at all. They have come up to the Championship flying this season and we will give them the respect they deserve, but we have had joy there in the past.

"It is 11v11. They are not Barcelona. They have been excellent this season but we'll try to win the game.

"We had good results in League One when they were having a sticky patch and we were on a high. It just shows you. That's football, things can change.

"They are on a high and we are in a sticky spell at the moment, but there is only one way to turn it around.

"It has been a difficult spell and it doesn't get any easier going to Falkirk, who beat a Morton team who have been going okay so far 6-0. But it would be a great way to do it if we can get something off of them."

Frizzell feels some of their performances haven't earned the results they have deserved in recent weeks, as the Diamonds prop up the table with five points from 12 games, four points behind nearest rivals Dunfermline.

The 26-year-old added: "We've been unlucky not to pick up points along the way but that's what happens when you are down at the bottom of the table.

"There is only one group who can change it and that's us. We need to go for it."
