Airdrieonians Football Club, commonly known as Airdrie, is a Scottish professional football team in Airdrie, North Lanarkshire, who compete in Scottish League One as members of the Scottish Professional Football League, following their relegation from the Scottish Championship in the 2025–26 season. They were formed in 2002 as Airdrie United Football Club following the folding of the original Airdrieonians, before returning to its traditional name on 1 June 2013. The club have won three trophies in their short history – the Scottish Second Division in 2003–04 and the Challenge Cup in 2008–09 and 2023–24. Once described as "the luckiest team in the Scottish League", the club have benefited in league division placements due to other club's misfortunes on four occasions (2008, 2009, 2012 and 2025). However the club have lost six Scottish league play-off finals (2007, 2008, 2009, 2012, 2021 and 2022), three semi-finals (2010, 2017 and 2026) and one quarter-final (2024) in total, eventually offset by two Championship play-off final victories, in 2023 against Hamilton Academical and 2025 against Cove Rangers. Wikipedia
