History of the Albion Rovers v Montrose fixture

Albion Rvs prepare to entertain Montrose at Cliftonhill Stadium on Saturday evening, and hold the advantage on previous meetings between the two. Wee Rovers have the slight edge, having won 29 of the 58 games compared to Montrose's 20 wins.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Cliftonhill Stadium was less than a year ago, in March 2003, with Albion Rvs running out comfortable 3-0 winners in a Scottish Division Three match.
