Brechin City face a trip to Stranraer at Stair 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 ending up on the losing side in more than half of the games played between the two.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in January 2007, as the visitors ran out cosy 0 - 2 winners in a Scottish Division Two match.
