In a high-stakes SPFL Pyramid Play-off final second leg, Edinburgh City secured their League 2 status with a commanding performance, denying Brora Rangers a historic first promotion to the Scottish Professional Football League. The tie was level at 1-1 from the first leg, but it took just one minute for the drama to unfold at Meadowbank Stadium.

Eighteen-year-old Divine Iserhienrhien, on loan from Airdrieonians, was the hero of the night. After canceling out James Anderson's opener for the Highland League champions in the first leg, the young striker wasted no time in the return fixture. He fired the hosts ahead within the first 60 seconds, setting the tone for a relentless display. Just shy of the 15-minute mark, Iserhienrhien struck again, giving Edinburgh City a commanding 3-1 aggregate lead that they never looked like surrendering.

This performance caps a remarkable end to the season for Iserhienrhien, who now has five goals in his last three games. His double follows a stunning 5-0 win over second-bottom Dumbarton, which snapped a seven-match losing streak for a side that finished at the bottom of the table—a result of a 15-point deduction for insolvency.

For Edinburgh City, this victory extends their decade-long stay in the SPFL, a testament to their resilience in the face of adversity. Meanwhile, Brora Rangers fall short in the play-offs for the second consecutive season, leaving their dreams of promotion on hold. It was a night of high drama, youthful brilliance, and the raw emotion that defines Scottish football at its most competitive.
