AN INJURY-TIME winner from substitute Greig Stewart capped a truly astonishing comeback by Cowdenbeath after the Fifers appeared to be down and out after Stirling took a 3-0 lead.

It saw them open up a seven-point lead over their rivals who have still not won a game since 23 October, yet it all looked good for Binos when on-loan Hibs player Sean Welsh coolly dispatched a glorious drive from 12 yards into the roof of the net.

Stirling looked set for victory thanks to a flick from Michael Mullen over the head of goalkeeper David Hay and the same player made it 3-0 in the 66th minute from six yards.

Then it all went horribly wrong.

Mark Ramsey's superb strike from all of 35 yards got Cowdenbeath on the scoresheet and he made it 3-2 from the spot after Scott Buist pulled down Greig Stewart, which also saw Buist red-carded.

Archie Campbell headed in the equaliser and Stewart made it 4-3 with a sensational left-foot winner.
