Stranraer prepare to entertain Stirling Albion at Stair Park on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 15 of the 41 previous games, with the The Blues winning just 13.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Stair Park was two seasons ago, in January 2005, as the visitors ran out cosy 0-3 winners in a Scottish Division Two match.
