Big game for Kenny Black and Brain Reid today as a win will secure First Division football in 2009-10.

Uniteds Airdrie and Ayr meet today in the second leg of the play-off final to see who will be in Division One next season. Airdrie manager Kenny Black has a full squad to choose from and will be hoping they do not throw away any advantage they gain today. His side threw away a two-goal half-time lead with Paul Di Giacomo and John Bird on target in the first leg but the hosts battled back for a 2-2 draw. Black said: "It all comes down to this and neither side will want to let the fans or themselves down. I don't think this will be as nervy as the first leg. Both side's know what they have to do and we'll be going out to ensure it's us that do it."

Ayr can welcome back Ryan Stevenson from suspension but full-back Neil McGowan misses out after his late dismissal for two yellow cards in the first leg. McGowan aside, The Honest Men have no other problems to contend with and boss Brian Reid will stick to the same team that fought back to secure a draw in the first leg. Reid said: "Airdrie are a First Division club and are still favourites. We've worked too hard to get to this stage to finish with nothing. The club and the fans deserve to go up. We're going into the game with confidence. We showed a lot of character that will need to be on display again on Sunday as it's going to be a huge day for all the players and everyone connected with the club."
