Rose Suffer Defeat to the Binos

Bonnyrigg Rose made the journey to Forthbank to face Stirling Albion.

Calum Elliot made four changes from Tuesday’s draw with Spartans.

James Graham gave the home side an early lead in the 2nd minute.

Paddy Martin denied a penalty from Josh Kerr in the 24th minute, but McNabb extended the lead in the 39th minute.

To close out a disappointing half, Brown fired a free kick beyond Martin in the 45th minute, giving the home side a comfortable lead.

The second half lacked the action of the first, though Stirling had several chances. Carrick and Crane had the best opportunities, but they were either denied by Martin or missed their mark.
