History of the Stirling Albion v Clyde fixture

Stirling Alb. play host to Clyde at Forthbank Stadium on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 16 of the 33 previous games, with the Binos winning just 11.

The last time the two teams met at Stirling Alb. was back in March 2000, over five years ago, as the visitors ran out cosy 3-6 winners in a Scottish Division Two match.
