Scottish League Two play-offs: Edinburgh stun East Stirlingshire
Saturday 14 May 2016 18:26, UK
Edinburgh City became the first club to be promoted to Scottish Leagues through the pyramid system after a 2-1 aggregate win over East Stirlingshire.
After a 1-1 in the first leg last Saturday, Dougie Gair was the hero for the Lowland League side; he held his nerve from the penalty spot three minutes from time after Reece Donaldson had been red carded for fouling Ross Allum.
The result brings to an end East Stirlingshire's 61-year stay in the Scottish leagues and they will now take Edinburgh's place in the Lowland League next season.
Meanwhile, Queen's Park booked a return ticket to the third tier of Scottish football after a seven-year hiatus, despite losing 1-0 to Clyde on Saturday.
The Hampden-based outfit were a warm order to secure promotion having won the League One play-off final first leg 3-1 on Tuesday but they fell behind to Scott Linton's first-half penalty.
However, Barry Ferguson's men could not find a second to force extra-time - David Gormley going closest - and their frustration was underscored when Michael Bolochoweckyj was ordered off following a second booking 15 minutes from time.
