Stirling face a trip to Gretna at Raydale Park on Saturday evening, and will hope to continue their unbeaten record at the ground. Out of their two previous meetings, the Binos have won one, and drawn the other.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in February 2003, when they played out a goalless draw in a Scottish Division Three match.

Recent respective form guides
Gretna are not in the best of form at home, with two wins, two draws, and two defeats in their last six. While Black and Whites have scored 8, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.
The Binos have had a decent run of form away from home recently, coming away with three points on 3 occassions, but drawing 1 and losing 2. A generous 8 goals have been both scored and conceded in this period.
Gretna are just outside the promotion places, in 4th, having taken 9 points from 6 games. Stirling are leading the way in the Bells Scottish Division Three, with their 6 games giving them a return of 16 points.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Stirling are not doing too bad on their travels, and I think they should continue by carving out a narrow victory at Gretna. Away win
