Footymad preview History of the Montrose v Berwick Rangers fixture

Montrose prepare to entertain Berwick Rangers at Links Park on Wednesday evening, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 24 of the 58 previous games, with the Gable Endies winning just 19.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Links Park was less than a year ago, in March 2012, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a Scottish Division Three match.
