History of the Montrose v Stenhousemuir fixture

Montrose prepare to entertain Stenhousemuir at Links Park Ground on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 23 of the 57 previous games, with the Gable Endies winning just 20.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Links Park Ground was less than a year ago, in January 2006, as the visitors ran out cosy 0-2 winners in a Scottish Division Three match.
