And that one gasped: “Omggggg.”
Stirling went on to pick up a major 4-1 victory in Edinburgh to move to sixth place in the table.
The hosts opened the scoring three minutes before half-time with Ousman See and went back to the dressing room with the lead.
However, the visitors rallied back with a hat-trick by Russell McLean, who netted his first in the 71st minute.
Ross Cunningham also got on the scoreboard for Alan Maybury’s side on 81 minutes.
