Match Preview
Trio still out for Albion Rock-bottom Stirling are again without the injured trio of Callum Reidford, Greig MacDonald and Martyn Corrigan for the visit of Ross County. Manager Jocky Scott has demanded top performances from his men, saying: "Our performances as a team are improving every week, however results have not been. "We are still making silly errors that are being punished severely and that has to stop and there is no time like the present for that to happen. "This is a really big week for us as we have Ross County on Tuesday and then Cowdenbeath this Saturday and I will want nothing less than top performances from my guys in both games." Ross County are without long-term injured duo Darren McCormack and Steven Craig as recently appointed manager Jimmy Calderwood takes charge of an away match for the first time. The Dingwall men, who sit five points off the bottom, may be glad of the journey after a run of four home games in a row where they have scored only one goal in four drawn matches. Calderwood said: "What I have seen in my two games in charge has convinced me that we have a really good bunch of lads here that just need that first win to be flying. "Hopefully that will come against Stirling, although Jocky Scott will be out to ensure that his men do not lose any ground on us."

Match Report
Ten-man County hold out for draw Stirling remain rooted to the foot of the Division One table after being held to a goalless draw by ten-man Ross County at Firs Park. The Binos are now five points from safety after missing the chance to drag third from bottom Ross back into the relegation battle. The home side had goalkeeper Scott Christie to thank for keeping them on level terms with a number of fine saves. He brilliantly tipped over Mark Corcoran's header in the 37th minute before denying Garry Wood from close range just moments later. He also tipped a curling effort from Corcoran round the post in the second half before Ross defender Jonathan Flynn was dismissed in the 80th minute for a second booking.
