The loan bhoy went straight into the Airdrie squad for tonight’s League One match at home to Clyde.Â
Kerr McInroy was out on loan at Airdrie in the first half of the season in a move that seemed to suit both the player and the club as they pushed into the play-off places behind Cove Rangers.Â
Paterson is the first player from the B squad to go out on loan with a balance required between pushing players up a level or two while maintaining some continuity in the Lowland League.Â
