Ross County 1 Stirling Albion 3 Stirling Albion made a mockery of Ross County's promotion ambitions despite going a man down while trailing 1-0. The Forthbank side refused to lie down after Joe Tortolano had been sent off for a two footed tackle on trialist Tony Mols. John McQuade was the hero for Stirling, scoring two second half goals and setting up a third for Paul McGrillen. County had gone ahead in the 19th minute when Derek Holmes reacted quickest to a loose ball to fire his shot home from 12 yards. |
