Montrose prepare to entertain East Stirlingshire at Links Park Ground on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Gable Endies are clearly on top, having won 37 and lost only 16 of the 66 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Links Park Ground was less than a year ago, in March 2006, with Montrose running out comfortable 2-0 winners in a Scottish Division Three match.

Recent respective form guides
Montrose have had an average home run of late, winning and losing 3 each of the last six games. While Gable Endies have scored 7, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.
The away form of East Stirling is pretty dire, collecting just 1 solitary point from the last six. While the The Shire have hit 4 goals, 20 have hit the back of the wrong net.
Montrose lie just outside the playoff positions in the Bells Scottish Division Three, picking up 11 points from their 7 games so far. East Stirling are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 7 points from 7 matches.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Its a close one to call, but I think that Gable Endies's reasonable showing at home is going to see them scrape past East Stirling. Home Win
