Airdrie United 2012–13 football season From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 2012–13 season was Airdrie United's first season back in the Scottish First Division. Airdrie also competed in the Challenge Cup, League Cup and the Scottish Cup. Airdrie were due to compete in their third consecutive season in the Scottish Second Division, having been relegated from the Scottish First Division at the end of the 2009–10 season.[3] On 16 July 2012, it was confirmed that Airdrie would be promoted to the Scottish First Division[4] to fill the vacancy left by Dundee's promotion to the Scottish Premier League.[5] This was to fill the slot vacated by Rangers, who were voted into the Scottish Third Division following their liquidation.[6]
