Airdrieonians fans boycotted their side's opening game of the season in large numbers.
And they left those who did turn up frustrated at their side's inability to hold on to a two-goal lead as Raith Rovers hit back to earn a draw.
The Diamonds gave themselves a two-goal cushion in the first half.

Their first came after Craig McPherson beat three Raith defenders before putting in a hard-hit cross that visiting defender Paul Browne turned into his own net.

Neil McFarland created the second goal 10 minutes later by turning four opponents before carefully sending a pass through to Owen Coyle. The striker advanced towards the Raith goal before comfortably slotting home.

In the second half, Rovers came out with all guns blazing and, within six minutes, squared the match as Nacho Novo tapped home from close range.

After 62 minutes, Darren Henderson also had an easy tap-in after an excellent four-man move.

Airdrie: Bennett, Armstrong, McPherson, McManus, James, MacFarlane, Taylor, Coyle, Roberts, Smith
