FootyMAD's Montrose match preview

History of the Montrose v East Stirlingshire fixture

East Stirlingshire face a trip to Montrose at Links Park Ground on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Shire will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 42 and win only 18 of the 73 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was earlier this season, as the visitors ran out cosy 0 - 3 winners in a Scottish Division Three match.

Montrose find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 17 games have yielded only 6 points. East Stirlingshire are just outside the promotion places, in 2nd, having taken 32 points from 16 games.
