Match Preview
Scott targets three of a kind Stirling Albion boss Jocky Scott hopes to have midfield pair Daly McSorley and Shaun Fagan available after injury as his side look to secure a third successive victory when Albion come to town. McSorley's ankle injury has improved and he should be available while Fagan will undergo a fitness test on his hamstring before kick-off although, again, he is likely to be involved. As Stirling look to continue their 100% start to the season, Scott is not getting carried away by two victories from the first two games. He said: "It will be a long season but we have set a standard that I would like us to maintain. Albion Rovers will be out to build on their success over Forfar so they are not going to lie down and let us win." Albion goalkeeper Chris Fahey returns from suspension and is poised to take the number one jersey against Stirling. Derek Gaston continues to struggle with injury while defender Mick O'Byrne also misses out with a knock. Striker John Gemmell sits out the final game of his three-match suspension as the Coatbridge men look to build on their success over Forfar last weekend. Player/assistant manager Todd Lumsden said: "That was a massive win for us as we had gone out of two cups and then lost on the opening day up at Arbroath. "We will look to build on that although it will be a tough contest at Stirling as they have started the season well."

Match Report
Albion battle back for draw Albion came from two goals down to secure a dramatic 2-2 draw at in-form Stirling. The hosts came in to the game top of the Irn-Bru Scottish Football League Championship Second Division with a 100% record but were unable to take three points, despite cruising into a 2-0 lead. Devon Jacobs scored for the home side 11 minutes before half-time with a low strike from the edge of the penalty area, before Scott Davieson scored Stirling's second goal from the penalty spot with only 14 minutes remaining. Albion sensed a comeback was on the cards when Scott Chaplain headed home in the 82nd minute and Barry Russell's 25-yard strike two minutes from time secured a hard-earned point for the visitors.
