In all the excitement over Nott's County's survival, I entirely forgot to mention that my other footballing love, the mighty East Stirlingshire, scored and 3-1 home win against third-placed Montrose. Not only are such wins rare, but this one has particular significance for two reasons.

After many years under the Sword of Damocles, it's finally been sold to property developers.

Secondly, for the first time since the 2001/2 season, they've avoided Scottish football's wooden spoon, finishing up ninth. The future's bright, the future's Shire!
