An honourable mention today for Airdrie defender Sean McGinty: ☑️ Out-jumped by Foster for the opener ☑️ Clumsy foul to concede the penalty ☑️ Horrific pass to Buchanan & then let him run 50 yards for the winner Alloa let him have the ball all game & it worked beautifully 🐝

Kudos to Steven Buchanan, who scored or assisted all 5 of Alloa's goals from open play in the Premier Sports Group Stages: 🅰️ at Bonnyrigg 🅰️ v Montrose ⚽ his shot was going in v Dundee 🅰️ & superb matchwinning ⚽ at Airdrie A real confidence booster for the season ahead 🐝

There have only been 3️⃣ occasions since the group stages were introduced in 2016 that teams outside the Premiership or Championship have qualified with 100% records. Ayr in 2017 & now Alloa twice, in 2016 & yesterday 👏 A phenomenal achievement from Andy Graham's Wasps 🐝

5 successive WWWWWins for Alloa! Buchanan's 6th goal contribution this season (3goals&3assists)🔥 Alloa never lose when Roberts scores WWWDWW💪 4 excellent 1st half saves from Liam McFarlane 🙌 12 unbeaten v Stenny at Ochilview, dating back to 2009, inc. 6 successive wins🐝

Shout out to keeper Liam McFarlane today: 4 excellent first half saves kept Alloa in the game 👐 Brave, agile, great anticipation & calm under pressure, the Hearts loanee is playing a key role in Alloa's winning start to the season & looks to have a very bright future ahead 👏

Man of the moment Steven Buchanan could make his milestone 100th Alloa appearance tomorrow: ☑️ 58 starts ☑️ 41 sub apps ⚽ 9 goals 🅰️ 14 assists 👏A Wasp since U13s (10 years ago!) Congratulations in advance & still plenty more to come from Alloa's pacy winger 🐝

A Devine intervention! No, not the Bayview wind but the first goal of David Devine's senior career & a rock in defence 💪 Kudos to Steven Buchanan for his 100th Alloa appearance👏 Alloa secure six successive wins for the first time since 2016 🐝

Andy Clarke's first start in senior Scottish football & his first spectacular goal 🔥 Many congratulations to the four teenage debutants Ewan McCurdy, Luke Watkins, Dylan Kavanagh & Leo Easdon 🐝 & massive kudos to the Alloa fans who made the journey 👏

Alloa fans at Ibrox today Alloa Athletic FC

🐝 Alloa Athletic FC are level! Rangers fail to clear the danger and the ball eventually ends up in the back of their net 😱 #PremierSportsCup

Scenes you absolutely love to see 🐝 Alas it wasn't enough in the end, but the whole team put in a phenomenal shift to keep the game in the balance until the 90th minute. Disciplined throughout & carried a threat going forward - super proud to be a Wasp tonight 👏 🐝

Just the 7th time in 104 years that Alloa have started the league season with 3 successive wins: ☑️1921 ☑️1938 ☑️1966 ☑️1973 ☑️1986 ☑️2016 ☑️2025 Consecutive league matchwinning goals for David Devine & a clean sheet in his first league start in 15 months for Tochukwu Ogayi 🐝

Shout out to David Devine, who has joined some real Alloa royalty in becoming the first Alloa goalscorer on the third version of the Wasps artificial surface: ☑️1st pitch, 1st ⚽ 2007 - Brown Ferguson ☑️2nd pitch, 1st ⚽ 2016 - Greig Spence ☑️3rd pitch, 1st ⚽ 2025 - David Devine

On this day in 1998 goal happy Alloa humiliated old rivals Stirling Albion with a seven (7!) goal hammering at the Recs... A glorious day to be a Wasps supporter & poor Stirling have lived in Alloa's shadow ever since 🐝

Never in any doubt 😅 The first time since the title clinching 8-1 win v Elgin in 2012 that an Alloa match has involved 9 goals! Just the 4th time in 4,184 games that the Wasps have won a match 5-4 🤯 (via FitbaStats) The others occasions were back in 1952, 1961 & 1962 🐝

Luke Donnelly could make his landmark 100th Alloa appearance today: ☑️99 games ⚽23 goals 🅰️9 assists Too many nutmegs & drag backs to count A silky player who is unplayable on his day. Read a full tribute in the 'Buzz from the Recs' programme. Congratulations in advance LD 🐝

David Devine didn't score a single goal in the first 6 years of his senior career. He's now scored 3 matchwinning goals in the past 6 weeks, earning Alloa a crucial 9 points! Absolutely delighted for the classy defender given the resilience he's shown to recover from injuries🐝

Classy finishes from Rankin & Sammon, but the standout performer tonight was young defender Leo Easdon. Calm on the ball & fierce in the tackle, showing he can be relied upon if required 🐝 Also, a clean sheet & 90 mins for player-manager Andy Graham, 42 years young yesterday!

Conor Sammon, obviously.

9.25 seasons, 379 appearances, 28 goals and counting... Delighted to see that a richly deserved testimonial is on the horizon for Alloa captain Scott Taggart 🐝
