Skipper Mark Durnan has called on Sons fans to be their 12th man in the playoff final.Stevie Farrell’s men take on Spartans tonight (Tuesday) at The Rock - with Durnan hailing the Sons support for helping their side to hold Stirling Albion in Saturday’s tense semi-final, and book a spot in the shootout for League One.Vinny, as Durnan is known, told the Lennox: “The backing was unbelievable from the fans.

For the first 10 or 15 minutes of the second-half Stirling were all over us. The crowd got right behind us. It was fantastic and amazing to hear.“Hopefully we can now give them something to shout about over the next two games.“Getting the clean sheet was the key.

We knew if we were solid and kept a clean sheet then we’d be through. When you get the home advantage in the first tie that’s something that is vital.“We knew they’d come out and have a go in the second-half.

They changed shape and it caught us out a bit and caused us a few problems. But we showed a side to us that was resilient, resolute and put our bodies on the line.
