Shotts boss John McKeown admits he was concerned about facing Kilbirnie Ladeside with four key players missing, but his depleted young side delivered a fine display to shock the league leaders on Saturday.
The Bonny came from behind to beat the visitors as PJ O’Donnell and Chris Kelly struck after Jamie Marks had given Kilbirnie the lead.
It was a result that knocked Kilbirnie off top spot in the West of Scotland League First Division and delivered 12th-place Shotts their third league win in seven games.
