Proud of the Wasps efforts ๐
Phenomenal composure from Alloa today; didn't panic despite the playoff scars of 2023 & 2024 & played some excellent football
Foster's 2nd goal at Airdrie this season & the tireless Adamson got the goal his play deserved!
An Andy Graham tactical masterclass & a final awaits ๐
The referee brings this game to a half as we finish up here in Airdrie, goals from Owen Foster and Callum Adamson secure our victory and place in the final
Our opponent is yet to be decided as the other semi-final goes to extra time.
See you Tuesday, Wasps!
A gutsy Alloa win, typified by the excellence of Calum Adamson's driving midfield runs & Charlie Dewar's defensive aggression๐ฅ
Taggart's 30th Alloa goal & a 17th clean sheet of the season; the most by any Alloa side since 2009/10๐
Another massive effort needed on Saturday ๐
Congratulations to Andy Graham for guiding Alloa to the promotion play-offs for a 3rd time in 4 seasons ๐
Luke Donnelly's 30th goal for Alloa today & already his 7th goal in 2026๐ฅ
A 16th clean sheet of the season; the most by any Alloa side since 2013/2014 ๐
The referee brings an assured and professional performance to an end, and the victory means that we secure our place in the play-offs with two games to spare
Kurtis Roberts 7th goal of the season & all 7 have contributed to Alloa wins, with 5 being precious matchwinning strikes!
A 15th clean sheet of the season, thanks in no small part to Liam McFarlane's excellent fingertip penalty save ๐ฅ
& 3 very welcome points for the Wasps ๐
FT | 1-2 | Donnelly's first half opener erased by Kieran Shanks and the Peterhead forward doubled his tally from the spot to give the visitors a 2-1 win.
A richly deserved man of the match award for the returning Charlie Dewar๐ฅ
4 goals in his last 7 games, but more importantly the Alloa defence was much improved with Dewar's controlled aggression, blocks & ability to build attacks - a very bright future awaits the 19 year old ๐
Last weekend Callum Burnside became Alloa's youngest hat-trick scorer in at least the last 50 years, beating Stevie May's 14 year record by 3 days!
Add in a maiden call-up to the Northern Ireland U21 squad, what a week it's been for the super talented 19 year old winger ๐
