Match Report

TTA report

Thistle fell to bottom of the table Albion. A header from a corner gave them the lead (13) totally against the run of play. Thistle struggled after that and there was no improvement in the second half. Tuffey had a fine save near the end to deny Albion a 2nd goal. Several corners in added time came to nothing.

Stirling Albion recorded their second successive win to further boost their fight for Division One survival. The goal came in the 13th minute from Albion's first corner of the game as on-loan Falkirk man Brian Allison thundered Chris Aitken's delivery home. Albion keeper Myles Hogarth denied Kevin McKinlay and seconds later tipped over substitute Gary Harkin's shot. Aitken had earlier wasted a chance to double Albion's lead, blasting over the crossbar in the 57th minute.
