RED-FACED football bosses used a picture of Nazi soldiers to mark Remembrance Day on their official programme.

The photo of German forces on a troop train also featured the logo of services charity PoppyScotland and the words Lest We Forget.

Ann Marie Ballantyne, secretary of Second Division Airdrie United - who lost 1-0 to Livingston on Saturday - said: "A few people have picked up on this. It certainly was not deliberate."

She added that the image had been chosen because Network Rail had been lined up as match sponsors.

She said: "In the end they pulled out - but by then everything was at the printers. We were told the soldiers were Australian."

Spokeswoman Leigh James of PoppyScotland said: "Obviously the club meant well."
