Stirling Albion manager Darren Young hailed his side after they drew 1-1 with Championship outfit Raith Rovers then won the penalty shootout for a Premier Sports Cup bonus point.
The Binos were good value for their draw at Stark’s Park and triumphed 5-4 on spot-kicks as they followed up a matchday one victory at Dumbarton with another positive result.
Aidan Connolly gave Raith Rovers the lead midway through the first half but Kieran Moore equalised shortly before the interval after being teed up by Dale Carrick and Albion survived the loss of defender Jordan McGregor to a second yellow card with eight minutes left. Stirling won the shootout, with Blair Currie denying Scott Brown after Kyle Banner had made it 5-4 with a perfect penalty.
