Airdrie boss Rhys McCabe praised his Diamonds for a dominant display against Dundee United, on a night the Tangerines were declared champions.The hosts, who have already secured their spot in the Premiership play-offs next month, outplayed their visitors but couldn't find the goal their performance deserved as Jim Goodwin's men held out for the point that saw them seal an immediate return to the top flight.Despite not having the title officially secured before kick-off, The Diamonds decided to give United a guard of honour as they came out onto the pitch in a move that split opinion amongst their support.In the end, neither side could find a way to goal, but McCabe was delighted with the response from his side after last week's 4-0 hiding at third-place Partick Thistle.McCabe, whose side won the previous meeting 2-0 at Tannadice in February, said: "I thought we were excellent and all we lacked was a goal."We really caused them a lot of problems, and we're probably the only team that's done that to them this season."We approached the game with the right mentality, even though we didn't have much on the line, and it was a thoroughly enjoyable 0-0."I was pleased with our reaction following last week's poor second half against Partick Thistle."The performance level was excellent.

We've come through it with no injuries."It would've been better if we had topped it off with a win but I can't complain with that performance."It's great to get a clean sheet."Gabby McGill will feel he could have done better with a header from Charlie Telfer's cross after 21 minutes, heading straight at United keeper Walton.Just before the break, Walton had to be at his best to tip Aaron Lyall's drilled effort onto the post and early in the second
