Stirling Alb. prepare to entertain Raith Rovers at Forthbank Stadium on Sunday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 20 of the 42 previous games, with the Binos winning just 14.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Forthbank Stadium was less than a year ago, in March 2006, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2-2 draw in a Scottish Division Two match.
