Summary
Airdrie United finished second in the Second Division,[1] entering the play-offs losing 3-0 to Clyde on aggregate.[2] Despite losing in the play off, they were promoted to the first division due to Gretna's forced relegation due to going into administration and being unable to prove they could complete fixtures. They reached the fourth round of the Scottish Cup,[3] the first round of the League Cup[4] and reached the Quarter final of the Challenge Cup losing 2-0 to Dunfermline Athletic.[5]
