dailyrecord.co.uk:

For the first time in six years, Stirling Albion will set foot in the end of season play-offs this evening - with Binos manager Darren Young confident his side will be raring to go after their weekend disappointment.Stirling fell just short of securing League One survival on Saturday against direct rivals Annan Athletic, with the 1-1 draw meaning the Binos stayed locked in the dreaded ninth position on goal difference.A trip to face familiar foes in Dumbarton now awaits this evening in the semi-final first leg and despite the disappointment of coming so close, Young says attention will fully on getting a result to take back to Forthbank.The Binos boss said: "We’ve been the better team in a lot of games this season and had nothing to show for it in terms of points."We need to take it on the chin and it’s only through ourselves that we’re in this position so we just have to regroup and go again for Tuesday.“Everybody is in there and will fancy themselves, so it’s up to us to take it a game at a time."We’ll prepare for Dumbarton, we’ve had scouts up there looking at their game [against Peterhead] and we’ll see how they have set up and work on that.

If we can create the amount of chances that we did today, then it’s down to the players to take advantage."As a coaching staff and as a squad, we take responsibility for the position we’re in and we feel as if we’ve let the fans down and know we have to put things right. “We’re going into these games believing that we can still do it.

It’s the small margins as it has been all season; you look back at the moments through the season - last minute goals, mistakes made, it’s a mixture of everything. "We’ll lick our wounds and get on with it.
