Arbroath face a trip to Stenhousemuir at Ochilview Park on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The The Red Lichties 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 less than a year ago, in March 2006, when they played out a goalless draw in a Scottish Division Three match.
