Stirling Albion hit back against Forfar Athletic to earn a valuable point

Stirling Albion came back from a goal down to clinch a valuable point with promotion-chasing Forfar Athletic at Forthbank on Tuesday night.

Things looked bleak when the Loons took a first-half lead through Craig Slater's free-kick.
