History of the Gretna v Montrose fixture

Montrose face a trip to Gretna at Raydale Park on Saturday evening, looking to break their duck against the hosts. The two previous games have resulted in one drawn game and one defeat for the Gable Endies.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in March 2003, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2 - 2 draw in a Scottish Division Three match.

Recent respective form guides

Gretna's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Black and Whites have scored 6, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.

Montrose's away form is none too clever either, collecting 1 win and 3 draws from the last six played. While the Gable Endies have hit 4 goals, 14 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Gretna see themselves just below half way in the Bells Scottish Division Three, showing a record of 9 points from their 7 games played so far, Montrose are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 6 points from 7 matches.
