Review
A fairly dead came with a lack of atmosphere in the ground.
John Doyle is in a rich vein of form and he was Celtic's main man on the night.
Albion defended well and it took into the second half for Celtic to go ahead from the spot , the kick awarded whern Doyle was brought down in the area, a decisdion vigorously protested by the Stirling defenders with Steedman getting booked. Murdo MacLeod made no mistake from the spot. Doyle got the second after a great move with Roy Aitken.
