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 41 and lost only 16 of the 70 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Links Park Ground was less than a year ago, in March 2008, with Montrose running out comfortable 2-0 winners in a Scottish Division Three match.
