Alloa held by Stenhousemuir after letting two-goal lead slip

Alloa remain top of Scottish League One but they will reflect on a missed opportunity after letting a two-goal lead slip to draw 2-2 at bottom side Stenhousemuir.Fraser Kerr's own goal gave Alloa the perfect start and they were in full control after Jim Goodwin's strike early in the second half.But Goodwin went from hero to villain when he was sent off just minutes later and Willis Furtado's goal 11 minutes from time set up a grandstand finish.Alloa appeared set to hold on for all three points, only for Oli Shaw to net a stoppage-time equaliser for Stenhousemuir.Livingston were behind Alloa only on alphabetical order heading into the weekend but they slipped to third after an afternoon to forget at East Fife.Jamie Insall scored either side of Chris Kane's goal to put the hosts 3-0 up at the break and although Josh Mullin pulled one back for Livingston just before the hour mark, there was no way back.The 3-1 defeat was compounded by red cards to Michael Miller and Alan Lithgow in the dying minutes.Brechin took advantage of the slip-ups and moved up to second with a 2-1 victory over Peterhead.Rory McAllister gave Peterhead the lead but Ally Love levelled before Andy Jackson's strike six minutes from time gave Brechin all three points.Goals from Liam Dick and Craig Malcolm either side of half-time earned Stranraer a 2-0 win at Queen's Park, who had Darren Miller sent off in the early stages of the second half.Albion won by the same scoreline at 10-man Airdrie courtesy of first-half efforts from Paul Willis and Mark Ferry. Iain Russell was sent off for the hosts midway through the second period.

Day to remember for Craig Thomson as Stranraer beat Albion

Craig Thomson scored his first career goals to help Stranraer to a 3-2 victory over Albion in Ladbrokes League One.The on-loan St Johnstone midfielder found the bottom left corner following a strong run into the box to open the scoring with 17 minutes played at Stair Park before striking home a low shot from the centre of the penalty area on the stroke of half-time.Blues striker Mark McGuigan turned and fired into the bottom left corner from the edge of the area after collecting Giuliano Morena's pass to extend the lead 11 minutes after the restart before the away side reduced the deficit when striker Ross Stewart found the bottom right corner on the hour mark.Rovers midfielder Paul Willis converted from the penalty spot to pull another goal back in the 90th minute following Thomson's foul on Stewart but the away side were unable to snatch a leveller in the final moments.

Albion dominate second half to thrash Stenhousemuir

Four second-half goals earned Albion a convincing 4-0 victory at home to Stenhousemuir.Albion were denied an opener when the referee deemed the ball had already gone out of play before Michael Dunlop crossed.Ryan Wallace tried an audacious chip which was not too far away and Steven Boyd's well-struck volley was saved as Rovers continued to push forward.Boyd slotted home the opener for Albion in the 65th minute, firing home the loose ball after goalkeeper Colin McCabe had initially made a superb save.The floodgates opened as Paul Willis fired in a Boyd cross to make it 2-0 and Wallace fired in a third shortly afterwards having created the opening himself.Wallace should have made it four before Boyd did seal the points with a back-post finish.

Kilmarnock 0-0 Albion Rovers

Kilmarnock exited the Betfred Cup following a goalless draw against Albion Rovers at Rugby Park where the League One outfit won a bonus point with a 5-3 penalty shoot-out win.It was a jittery and disjointed performance from the Ladbrokes Premiership side who were more than matched by the composed visitors.Substitute Ross Stewart, skipper Michael Dunlop, Paul Willis, Kyle Turnbull and substitute Scott McBride scored from the spot for the Coatbridge men.Killie captain Steven Smith, Gary Dicker and Flo Bojaj scored their penalties but Josh Magennis had his effort saved by Rovers keeper Ross Stewart to leave Killie in second place with seven points - not enough to be one of the four second-placed qualifiers for the last-16 as Morton topped Group H.It was a poor effort all round from the Ayrshire men.Northern Ireland striker Magennis flashed a drive over the bar from edge of the box in the 13th minute but it was no whirlwind start.Rovers seemed to be hard done by in the 24th minute when Killie keeper Oliver Davies and defender Will Boyle collided into each other allowing Ryan Wallace to slip the ball into the empty net but referee Bobby Madden blew for a foul.Killie responded to a point as attacker Rory McKenzie sent a shot wide of the target before Souleymane Coulibaly headed a Smith corner past the far post but Albion, marshalled at the back by brothers Ross and Michael Dunlop, grew in confidence.Just before the hour-mark Coulibaly clipped the top of the bar with a shot on the turn from Smith's cut-back but moments later at the other end Oliver had to dive smartly to his left to turn a 20-yard drive from Mark Ferry past the post for a corner, which came to nothing.The home fans became increasingly agitated as the second-half progressed.A back-heel attempt from Coulibaly following a corner brought a save from Rovers keeper Ross Stewart before defender Miles Addison headed wide but there was to be no breakthrough.ends

Albion win over Stenhousemuir not enough for play-off place

Albion's hopes of reaching the Scottish League One play-offs came to an end despite a 3-1 win at Stenhousemuir, who avoided a relegation decider.Rovers registered the victory they needed but with Stranraer and Airdrieonians beating Cowdenbeath and Ayr respectively, their top-four prospects were dashed.The visitors took the lead four minutes into the second half when Scott McBride bundled in from close range for his second goal in as many games.They doubled their advantage in the 68th minute, Alistair Love firing home from inside the area - his 13th goal of the season.McBride grabbed his second of the game with 16 minutes remaining after being teed up by Gary Fisher.Stenny pulled a goal back two minutes from time, with Jamie McCormack heading in Jon Robertson's delivery, but they preserved their League One status after Cowdenbeath's loss.

Forfar relegated as Albion edge five-goal thriller

Albion won a topsy-turvy encounter 3-2 to keep their play-off hopes alive and condemn opponents Forfar to relegation.Beginning the day two points adrift of Brechin at the bottom, Forfar needed to help themselves and they made a dream start when Danny Denholm was sent through one-on-one against home keeper Ross Stewart to open the scoring inside 50 seconds.But the lead lasted just six minutes before a defensive mix-up gifted Ally Love a close-range equaliser - and he then turned provider as Scott McBride headed Albion in front, still inside the opening 20 minutes.Forfar levelled on the hour mark as Kyle Turnbull fouled Denholm in the box and Andy Ryan tucked away the penalty. But Ross Stewart's brilliant save from Scott Martin kept Albion on terms and though Love missed from close range, he then provided the corner for Michael Dunlop to head the winner.The result leaves Albion alongside Airdrie on 46 points, two behind fourth-placed Stranraer with one game to go.

Michael Dunlop earns long-awaited win for Albion

Michael Dunlop's winner 17 minutes from time earned Albion a 1-0 victory over Ayr and gave them their first three points since February 23.Having not won any of their previous eight contests, Dunlop's second-half volley finally brought some cheer to a club fifth in the table.The visitors almost went ahead prior to the interval through Ross Davidson, whose shot following a well-worked free-kick routine was just wide of the post.Dunlop's strike after the break proved to be the difference as he collected a header back to him from Scott McBride before finding the net with a volley.It meant a fourth defeat in five for Ayr, who sit third in the division ahead of the final three fixtures.
