Mark Russell bagged a brace as Stranraer came from behind to register a 3-1 victory at Spartans in Scottish League Two.

The home side took the lead in the 18th minute when Blair Henderson headed in a cross from Callum Booth to score for the third successive game.

Stranraer, dumped out of the Scottish Cup by Lowland League side Broxburn Athletic in their last outing, levelled 11 minutes before half-time, Elliot Dunlop producing a fine finish.

Russell fired the visitors ahead six minutes later, curling into the far corner for his first goal since early October.

He made the game safe in stoppage time from the penalty spot after Spartans defender Kevin Waugh was shown a red card for bringing down Max Guthrie.
