CHANGED DAYS FOR MAYBURY

Binos boss expects calmer summer window one year after being thrust into a rebuild job

- STUART MCFARLANE

Twelve months is proving a long time in football as Stirling Albion boss Alan Maybury insists continuity is key to improve their fortunes in League Two.

Almost a year to the day after the Irishman walked into the chaos of the Binos hotseat after relegation, the dismissal of Darren Young and a much-criticised recruitment process, things are calmer in 2025 as he builds up his squad for the 2025/26 season.

Maybury has already managed to secure three much-praised signatures in League One's joint top goal-scorer in Ross Cunningham from Kelty Hearts, one of the Binos' bete noires in Forfar forward Russell McLean and most recently, promoted skipper Stewart Murdoch from East Fife.

Speaking to the Observer this week, he reflected on the changes made over the past year or so - and his determination to get things right from the off with a more controlled squad build this time around.
