Stirling Albion boss Darren Young warned his players to keep their feet firmly on the ground as they celebrated moving top of the league with a 3-1 win at Stenhousemuir.
The win at Ochilview was a scrappy affair, but the Binos proved their mettle against another of League Two’s fancied promotion hopefuls in a match that swung both ways over the course of the 90 minutes.
Dale Carrick’s seventh league goal of the season once again got Albion off to a flyer inside two minutes, but they were forced to rally after Nat Wedderburn brought the hosts deservedly level before half-time.
But late goals from Paul McLean and Aaron Dunsmore ensured the points made the short trip back up the road to Stirling as the table-topping Binos jumped above Dumbarton after their 1-1 draw at home to Albion Rovers.
