Brian Cameron struck twice as Elgin brushed aside rock-bottom East Stirling 3-0 to claim their first win in seven matches and move up to third place.
East Stirling held the edge in terms of form having won their last match but they were sunk inside the opening 30 minutes following goals from Cameron and Dylan Easton.
Cameron needed just nine minutes to put the visitors in front, slotting home Thomas Reilly's cross, and then Easton made it 2-0 in the 27th minute with Daniel Moore claiming the assist.
Home goalkeeper Darren Dolan performed heroics to keep Elgin from increasing their lead but he was beaten for a third time 16 minutes from the end when Easton and Cameron combined for the latter to slot home his second.
