Match ends, East Stirling 0, Montrose 1.
East Stirlingshire 0-1 Montrose
- From the section Football
East Stirlingshire's play-off hopes were dealt a blow by a surprise home defeat by bottom club Montrose.
Ross Campbell scored the only goal of the game to leave Shire five points adrift of fourth-place East Fife.
The hosts started well and threatened early on through David McKenna, Luke Donnelly and then Kevin Nisbit - but none of the trio worked the goalkeeper.
Donnelly and Nisbit had chances after the goal and both should have done better than miss the target.
