| Comments | Match Report Report from the Daily Record. Ross County 1 East Stirlingshire 3 County boss Bobby Wilson was fuming after lowly East Stirling gave his side a lesson in finishing. He fired: "I felt like there were 11 of my players not there in the first half. "You couldn't print what I said to them at half-time." A double from Martin McBride gave Shire an easy first lead. Wilson's half-time roasting brought some improvement for County but they couldn't stop Peter Dwyer heading Shire's third. Want-away striker Brian Grant had a goal chalked off for the Dingwall men and blazed another attempt over before he sprinted from the half-way line and fired home. |
