Review
John Doyle is in the wars at Annfield and Moffatt is sent off for two bad tackles on him.
This was a tough game and the Binos gave as good as they got whilst never looking as though they would cause an upset. Their penalty came when a goalbound shot struck Danny McGrain's hand and the ref gave the penalty. Pretty much on the restart Doyle was felled heavily twice by Moffat who received a yellow each time and went for an early bath.
McAdam equalised for Celtic after a goal mouth scramble.
Doyle scored the winner also when Stirling keeper Young could not hold a powerful McCluskey free kick.
