The Diamonds have been on the end of convincing defeats to the league's top two but Rhys McCabe says his new squad is still gelling
Airdrie boss Rhys McCabe has dismissed the notion that there is a gulf between his side and Championship frontrunners Falkirk and Ayr United.
Airdrie, who reached the play-offs last season, were also humbled 5-0 by currently unbeaten Ayr at Somerset Park last month. And asked if given his side's performances against the league's top-two that he felt there might be a gap there, McCabe said: "We are five games into a season. Flip it round to when we finished above Ayr and Falkirk last season, would you say the same about that?"We are five games into a season, we have 15 new players in the squad and it takes a bit of time to gel, so to suggest there's an element that they are better than us is a bit disrespectful.
The loss to Falkirk was Airdrie's third in five Championship games alongside a narrow 1-0 win over bottom side Raith Rovers on the opening day - which cost ex-Airdrie boss Ian Murray his job - and a 2-2 draw with Hamilton Accies, where Airdrie trailed 2-0 going into the final 10 minutes.
