East Stirlingshire have received permission from Falkirk to sign on Alex Thomson, who was last season signed by Falkirk from Liverpool. Thomson is a Stirling lad, and before moving to England he played centre forward for East Stirlingshire. He is a dashing player, with a splendid turn of speed, and can take any position in the front rank. East Stirlingshire will include him in to-morrow’s team against Broxburn United in an Eastern League game at Falkirk.
