|
East Stirling prepare to entertain Berwick Rangers at Ochilview on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 24 of the 58 previous games, with the The Shire winning just 21.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Ochilview was earlier this season, the The Shire carving out a narrow 1-0 victory in a Scottish Division Three match.
