Last updated : 10 September 2004 By Footymad Previewer
History of the Stirling Albion v Greenock Morton fixture

Stirling Alb. prepare to entertain Greenock Morton at Forthbank Stadium on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 10 of the 25 previous games, with the Binos winning just 9.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Forthbank Stadium was just last season, in May 2003, as the visitors ran out cosy 0-3 winners in a Scottish Division Three match.
