The hard work gets under way for Stirling Albion tomorrow night as the squad begin their pre-season preparations for their League One campaign.
The Binos will be competing in the third tier for the first time since 2012 – and boss Darren Young is keen to ensure his side are fit, firing and ready for the challenge ahead.
It will be a stiff test for Stirling as they compete in a division where three sides have full-time status – Falkirk, Hamilton Academical and Queen of the South – while Cove Rangers are implementing a ‘hybrid’ system ahead of moving full-time next season.
