East Stirling face a trip to Queens Park at Hampden Park 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 37 and win only 12 of the 65 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was earlier this season, when they played out a goalless draw in a Scottish Division Three match.
