Albion’s attacking options are limited with Dale Carrick also out injured.

The Blues have been in good form of late and won 2-1 at Edinburgh City last Friday to keep their slim play-off hopes alive.

Stirling won 3-0 at Stair Park in August and the sides have drawn twice since then –1-1 at Forthbank in October and 3-3 in the south west in January.

Young felt his side deserved something from Tuesday’s game but knows they need to start scoring more goals if they are to finish the season on a more positive note.

The Binos boss said: “I felt we were the better team with 11 men and the better team with 10 men and the boys worked so hard but we lost a terrible goal again. I’ve no complaints about the red card and Dylan doesn’t need to dive in.

“He had a few fouls against him before that and let frustratio­n get the better of him which is disappoint­ing.

“We got into good areas in the game but we didn’t test the goalkeeper enough.

“It’s frustratin­g to lose a goal after playing the way we did with 10 men.

“We just don’t have that final piece of the jigsaw to put the ball in the net and now Dylan will be out for two games.

“I thought Adam Cummins came in and was outstandin­g at the back and Kyle Banner was the same in central midfield.

“Kieran Moore worked so hard for the team and had to play in a number of positions. The effort from the players is there and the fans could see that but we are lacking in the final third.

“We need to do better and take the chances that come our way because that is what other teams are doing to us.

“We also have to do better from set-pieces, both with the delivery and with players getting on the end of them.

“We need to find a way to win games between now and the end of the season.”

•Numbers drawn on Wednesdsay in the Stirling Albion Supporters Trust lottery were 1, 2, 11 and 21.

There were no jackpot winners so it rises on Wednesday to £2600. Three lucky dip winners each receive £20.

Callander Target Sports Club’s Bronwen Livingston­e is celebratin­g after her recent success at the National Smallbore Rifle Associatio­n and Scottish Target Shooting Associatio­n air pistol and rifle competitio­ns in Edinburgh.

Glasgow-based wheelchair user Bronwen travels to Callander to practice and competed in the 10-metres handicappe­d Isabell Newstead Memorial Trophy shoot, where victory – coupled with her success in her previous NSRA British Open Airgun Championsh­ips – means that she is now the Scottish and British Champion female disabled shooter for 2022.

She also won a silver in the Class B competitio­n and aggregate 10 metres shoot when she was shooting against both male and female non-disabled competitor­s.

Thornhill youngster Bertie Galloway won silver medals at the 10 metres Junior Men’s Rifle Championsh­ip, Men’s Open and Confined Championsh­ip Shoots.

Club secretary Robert Farquhar said:“It is great to see both a wheelchair disabled shooter and a junior member from our club compete and win at these very hard cometition­s where they are shooting against experience­d shooters from across the country.”
