Stirling keeper admits relief as crucial shootout save avoids own spot kick test

The keeper made the crucial low save from Nathan Cooney’s penalty – the 15th of a marathon shootout – to edge a highly competitive affair with Highland League table-toppers Brechin City on Saturday 8-7 in the shootout after a 2-2 draw over 120 minutes.

The win earned them a tough trip to Championship cracks Inverness Caledonian Thistle, currently sitting joint top of the second tier, in the next round of the showpiece competition.
