Brechin City v Stirling Albion
Match Reports - Scottish League Division 2

Champions !!
After the last gasp comeback at Central Park the Beanos headed to Glebe Park knowing a point against Brechin would almost certainly win the Division Two title. With Alloa a long way behind on goal difference the only way a draw wouldn't be enough was if the Wasps somehow managed to beat Cowdenbeath by eight or nine goals. This was never going to happen so a point would be enough. However, clinging on for a point wouldn't be good for the nerves and so hopefully Allan Moore's men might go gently on their big travelling support. This is the Beanos though and if there is a hard way to do something we'll find it so a tense afternoon was always on the cards.

A bright start from the league leaders saw Stirling tensions eased when Michael Mullen curled in a superb opening goal. Hopes of an easy stroll to the title were short lived as former Beano Charlie King fired in a beauty of a free kick to level the scores. It remained level at the break and with Alloa losing the Albion were still firmly in the driving seat. A nightmare start to the second period saw Brian Allison collect a second yellow card and thus with almost all of the half to play the Beanos were down to 10 men. As the second period progressed news came through of an Alloa comeback and stress was reaching maximum levels. Thankfully Brechin had very little to offer going forward and the visitors saw out the game without too many alarms. As the final whistle blew Stirling had done what seemed impossible only three weeks ago and won the championship.

Cowdenbeath v Stirling Albion
Match Reports - Scottish League Division 2

Ya Beauty - Russell and McKenna Celebrate Leveller
After the first attempt to play this rearranged fixture was snowed off after 18 minutes the teams were more hopeful of completing the 90 this time around. The hosts Cowdenbeath were on a decent run of form and along with Alloa and the Beanos still harboured hopes of winning the Division Two title. Stirling of course could clinch the crown this evening with a win but this always looked a tough task against Danny Lennon's energetic young side. The Beanos haven't lost to Cowdenbeath this term but the home sides 4-0 rout of Brechin at the weekend told us we would be in for a difficult evening.

Backed by a fantastic travelling support of well over 500 Albion fans the Beanos made a complete mess of the opening half. Allan Moore's decision to play three at the back failed miserably as goals from Darren McGregor and a Gareth Wardlaw double had the Beanos looking down and out. A tactical switch at the break paid quick dividends as Iain Russell pulled one back. However, Stirling were still two goals adrift as the clock ticked towards 90 minutes. With a couple of minutes left Iain Russell bagged his second to set up a grandstand finish. Then deep, deep into stoppage time a Ross Forsyth free kick was headed home by Andy Graham to level the scores. This goal ended Cowdenbeath's title hopes and means Stirling need only a point on Saturday to seal the title.
