Stirling Albion are a Scottish yo-yo club who have had some miserable old times, but once took Selkirk to the cleaners. At any given time between 1940 and 1960, Stirling were either being promoted from the First Division or being relegated from the Second Division. These days, things are completely different as the Binos fluctuate between the First and Second Divisions (which are in fact the second and third tiers). This tendency is responsible for the phrase ‘going up and down like Stirling Albion’, the opposite of common term ‘staying where they are like Stenhousemuir.’[1]
