Set for New Burnley Deal On Loan signing Jay Rodriguez looks set to be offered a new deal with Burnley. The forward who has scored two goals for The Binos has impressed Burnley's Scottish Manager Owen Coyle who commented on the Burnley Official Website "The reason Jay went to Stirling is we knew he would get regular games. He missed six weeks with a chest problem, but he has still done well and he looks as if he is improving on a regular basis. The two months during the summer are important to him now because I would expect him to come back bigger and stronger and hopefully ready to show that he has a part to play at this football club." - View Article On Burnley Official Website |

| 6th April 2008 | Captain Corr
Leads By Example Stirling Albion's Liam Corr led his Scotland Under 18 Schoolboy International team by example in their recent Centenary Shield match against the Republic of Ireland in Athlone on Friday night as they fought back to win a vital away point. Somewhat against the run of play the Scots found themselves two goals down at half time against an Irish team unbeaten at this age group over the years in over 40 games. Stirling's centre back Don Morrison had another excellent performance at the heart of the Scotland defence as they worked hard to contain a strong home team. Young Greg Munn who captains the Bino's 17's team was introduced at half time and, after a slightly nervous start, he settled to produce a sturdy performance. Liam Corr started the Scotland comeback when, with around twenty minutes to play, he picked up a cut back on the left just inside the box. His fiercely driven shot beat the Irish keeper and gave the Scotland side a much needed boast. With only a few minutes to play Corr fought for possession on the left just inside the Irish half then fired over a fantastic diagonal ball which freed team mate Kevin Ireland on the right. Ireland's first touch was terrific and his shot fired into the far corner to round off a spirited comeback from the Scotland team. |

Forthbank Stirling Albion and Queen of the South fought out a goalless draw on Saturday at Forthbank Stadium in an uninspiring match.
