Airdrie boss won't get carried away with fine run, and jokes that he 'faced the sack'

Airdrie boss Rhys McCabe won’t get carried away after a fine run of results took his side up to fourth in the Championship – and joked that he was being tipped for the SACK four games ago.The Diamonds have won three games on the bounce, beating Queen’s Park, Inverness Caledonian Thistle and leaders Raith Rovers to put them in the promotion play-off spots for a place in the Premiership next term.But McCabe says losing to or drawing with rivals Dunfermline this weekend could scrap all of that good work.As it is, Airdrie are fourth, two points ahead of fifth-placed Morton and four above the Pars, though both have a game in hand, as they head to East End Park.“Four games ago I was ‘getting the sack’, it’s one of these leagues where it very quickly changes,” said McCabe, after the 1-0 win over Rovers.“It’s so competitive, that most weeks there’s an upset in the results, and ultimately two or three wins on the bounce sets you right up to rocket a few places.“We’ve been on the other side, where a couple of negative results can see you drop four or five places.“It’s important that we don’t look at the league table, especially with how early on it is in the season.“We just make sure that we go about our business in the right manner and we only control the controllables.”When asked about opening a gap on Dunfermline, McCabe said: “I don’t even know, I couldn’t even tell you the results.

It’s not something I focus on.“I watched the Dunfermline game [a 2-1 defeat at Queen’s Park on Friday]. I knew they had a few injury troubles and Queen’s Park have obviously got their first win [under caretaker boss Paul Nuijten].“I wouldn’t be surprised if Queen’s Park now maybe go and pick up a few points when they’re ‘not supposed to’.“That’s
