Albion Rvs. prepare to entertain East Stirlingshire at Cliftonhill on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Wee Rovers are clearly on top, having won 52 and lost only 20 of the 91 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Cliftonhill was less than a year ago, in January 2008, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2-2 draw in a Scottish Division Three match.

Recent respective form guides
Albion Rovers's woeful home form means they have chalked up just a single victory, with 5 defeats, from the last six. While Wee Rovers have scored 6, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.
East Stirling's away form is none too clever either, collecting 2 wins and 3 draws from the last six. The The Shire's have a narrow positive goal difference over these games, with 9 goals for and 7 against.
Albion Rvs. see themselves just below half way in the Irn Bru Scottish Division Three, showing a record of 20 points from their 16 games played so far, East Stirling's total of 27 points from their 17 games sees them sitting in the playoff places in Irn Bru Scottish Division Three.
