East Stirling face a trip to Montrose at Links Park Ground on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The The Shire will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 42 and win only 17 of the 72 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in February 2009, as the visitors ran out cosy 0 - 2 winners in a Scottish Division Three match.
