Airdrie moved back to the top of Division One after a tough 2-1 win over Falkirk at Brockville.

The home side took a deserved lead after 13 minutes when Ian Morris put Lee Miller clean through, and the striker lifted the ball over keeper Alan Ferguson and into the net.

The visitors hit back six minutes later after a mistake by defender Steven Rennie.

Rennie miscontrolled the ball and Craig McPherson hit a superb left-foot drive low across Miles Hogarth and in at the keeper's left-hand post.

After the break the home side began to dominate, only to commit another error at the back with 66 minutes gone.

Hogarth kicked a simple backpass straight to Airdrie's John Henry, whose neat pass allowed Mark Roberts to chip the keeper from all of 30 yards.

Airdrie: Ferguson, Armstrong, McPherson, Stewart, Taylor, James, Henry, MacFarlane, Coyle, Roberts, Smith
