Airdrie liquidator looks to Archibald
Steve Archibald, the former East Fife manager and Scotland striker who is reported to have declared an interest in buying Airdrie, has been urged to show his hand.
The First Division club were placed in provisional liquidation this week with debts of £750,000 but will hold an emergency general meeting on Monday, when shareholders will be asked to allow the constitution to be changed to clear the way for a takeover bid.
"I'm happy to speak to Steve Archibald, indeed anyone else who may have an interest," said Blair Nimmo, the liquidator.
George Peat became treasurer of the Scottish Football Association again yesterday with a surprise defeat of the Hearts chief executive Chris Robinson in a vote of the member clubs.
Peat, who resigned the post last year after leaving the Airdrie board, is now a director of Stenhousemuir.
