East Stirlingshire equalised when Andy Stirling fired home a right-foot shot eight minutes from the break.

But Stirling equalised from the penalty spot two minutes into the second half and neither side could come up with a winning goal.

Peterhead were reduced to ten men after 17 minutes when Scott Ross picked up his third red card of the season for lashing out at Brian Allison.

Mark Ferry brought a superb save from Graeme Smith as Stirling sought to take advantage.

Jordan White broke the deadlock from the penalty spot midway through the second half but was later sent off after a second booking to leave both teams short-handed.
