Arbroath prepare to entertain Montrose at Gayfield Park on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The The Red Lichties are clearly on top, having won 26 and lost only 11 of the 50 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Gayfield Park was less than a year ago, in March 2006, with Arbroath running out comfortable 3-0 winners in a Scottish Division Three match.
