Next Match we are back at NDP for the rearranged match with Stirling Albion.

Stirling Albion are currently sitting in 4th place with The Rose in 7th after the points deduction in the League table.
Calum and the team will be looking to maintain the unbeaten run of five games in the League.

Manager Calum Elliot’s thoughts on the upcoming match.

Another difficult game against a side that is full of quality and Alan (Maybury) has done a brilliant job since he took over.

The last home game against East Fife the supporters were brilliant and really got behind the players and hopefully we can put in a similar performance.

The Rose drew 1-1 with East Fife at the weekend.

Rose started the afternoon with momentum, scoring early through Lee Currie in the 7th minute from a well-executed free kick that found the top left corner, beating the East Fife goalkeeper.

The Fifers created chances in quick succession, but Tom Ritchie dealt with the shots comfortably in the Rose net.

Jack Healy and Mark Ferrie had chances just before the end of the first half, with Ferrie hitting the side netting and Healy’s shot being claimed by the Rose goalkeeper.

Bonnyrigg controlled the latter stages of the first half East Fife changed the tempo of the game in the second half, as Shepherd, Murdoch, and Millar created dangerous chances for the visitors

in the first 15 minutes. Kallum Higginbotham would have two of Rose’s best chances of the 2nd half with his chip coming close in the 51st minute, saved by McFarlane, followed by an acrobatic effort going just wide of the goal in the 60th minute.

East Fife’s lifeline came through Jess Norrie, combining with Jack Healy to equalise late for Campbells side in the 76th minute.

Rose came extremely close to taking a late lead in the 92nd minute, as Cammy Ross was denied a goal when his shot hit the inside of the post, resulting in both sides earning a point.

Stirling Albion were in cup action going out of the competition on penalties at fellow League 2 Forfar Athletic after a 3-3 draw after Extra Time.
