Montrose face a trip to Elgin City at Borough Briggs at lunchtime on Saturday, having the edge over their hosts in previous meetings. The visitors have won 3 of the 6 previous games, with the hosts winning just 1.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in March 2003, as the visitors ran out cosy 0 - 2 winners in a Scottish Division Three match.
