|
East Stirling prepare to entertain Elgin City at Firs Park on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 5 of the 10 previous games, with the The Shire winning just 4.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Firs Park was less than a year ago, in January 2005, as the visitors ran out cosy 0-3 winners in a Scottish Division Three match.
