History of the Stirling Albion v Rangers fixture
Stirling Albion play host to Rangers at Forthbank Stadium on Saturday afternoon, determined to stop the rot against their opponents, having tasted the bitter pill of defeat in 11 of the 14 contests.

Recent respective form guides
Stirling Albion's woeful home form means they have chalked up just a single victory, with 5 defeats, from the last six. While Binos have scored 7, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.
Rangers's away form is none too clever either, unbeaten in their last six, consisting of three wins and three draws. Just 7 goals have scored in these games, though to be fair only a measly 4 have been let in at the wrong end.
Stirling Albion find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 6 games have yielded only 3 points.
Rangers are just outside the promotion places, in 2nd, having taken 12 points from 6 games.
