History of the Montrose v East Stirlingshire fixture

Montrose prepare to entertain East Stirlingshire at Links Park Ground on Tuesday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The Gable Endies are clearly on top, winning 53.23% of the games played between the two.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Links Park Ground was less than a year ago, in May 2004, the Gable Endies carving out a narrow 1-0 victory in a Scottish Division Three match.

Recent respective form guides

Montrose could not have a worse home record, losing every single one of the last six matches played! While Gable Endies have scored 4, a worringly large 13 have been leaked at the other end.

The away form of East Stirling is pretty dire, managing a paltry 2 draws from the last six matches. While the The Shire have hit 5 goals, 12 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 26 points from their 26 games played so far, East Stirling find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 24 games have yielded only 12 points.
