Recent respective form guides
Montrose's home form is most definitely relegation standard, collecting just 1 solitary point from the last six. While Gable Endies have scored 5, a worringly large 16 have been leaked at the other end.
East Stirling's away form is none too clever either, winning and losing 3 each of the last six games. While the The Shire have hit 7 goals, 10 have hit the back of the wrong net.
Montrose see themselves just below half way in the Bells Scottish Division Three, showing a record of 21 points from their 23 games played so far, East Stirling are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 19 points from 20 matches.
