Brechin City face a trip to Raith Rovers at Stark's Park on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The The City will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 20 and win only 4 of the 34 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was earlier this season, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2 - 2 draw in a Scottish Division Two match.
