Match Preview
Albion aim to break scoring duck Stirling will be without Shaun Dillon and Marc McCulloch as they look to climb over visitors Airdrie and off the foot of the Second Division. Shaun Fagan has shrugged off injury and will feature but the game has come too soon for centre-back Greig MacDonald, who is edging back to full fitness following an Achilles problem which has kept him out since February. Stirling are currently two points behind this weekend`s opponents but have gone five league games without finding the net. Boss Jocky Scott said: "The boys have been unlucky in front of goal as the performances they have put in have deserved better than what they have got. Hopefully we can put that right against Airdrie and start moving up the table." Airdrie welcome back central defender David Lilley after suspension as they make the trip to Forthbank. The Diamonds, who are again missing winger Alastair Woodburn through injury, have scored 20 times in their last four games and manager Jimmy Boyle wants his men to keep that up, while at the same time improving at the back having been breached 14 times during that run. Boyle said: "What we are doing in our opponents` half has been fantastic but we simply have to tighten things up in defence. "This would be a huge game to win as it lifts us away from Stirling but we are under no illusions about just how much Stirling want to win and climb above us." end

Match Report
Donnelly at the double Airdrie run riot Stirling's miserable season continued as they were put to the sword 4-1 by Airdrie United. The visitors were ahead as early as the 13th minute when Ryan Donnelly continued his remarkable goalscoring form with a simple finish from William McLaren's cross. The lead was doubled from the spot as Gary Thom fouled William McLaren in the box and Paul Lovering sent Callum Reidford the wrong way. There was brief joy for Stirling as Lewis Bonar planted Darren Smith's cross into the bottom corner just before half-time. But normal service was resumed after the break, McLaren restoring United's two goal advantage by drilling home Jamie Bain's cross. And Donnelly's 19th of the season from the edge of the area in the 58th minute sealed his side's first win in seven league matches and kept Stirling rooted to the bottom of the Irn Bru Second Division.
