History of the Stirling Albion v Dundee fixture

Stirling Alb. prepare to entertain Dundee at Forthbank Stadium on Saturday afternoon, looking to improve on a dire past record against their opponents. It does not make pleasant reading, having tasted defeat an amazing 19 times and winning only 1.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Forthbank Stadium was just last season, in September 2009, with Dundee inflicting a narrow 1-2 defeat upon the Binos in a Scottish Challenge Cup match.
