Another pressure game at Links Park and the team have to be up for it to eradicate some recent and past traumas there.
I'm not talking about the 3-0 and the 5-0 results of late but the awful saga of a decade ago when we won the first tie but it had to be replayed since we fielded an ineligible player (can't even recall the player in question).
The compulsory replay ended 0-0 then Montrose dumped us out of the Cup winning 2-1 at Gayfield. Let's make a special effort to eradicate these memories
Our head-to-head record in all Scottish cupties against Montrose stands at 2-2.
1888/89 Arbroath 6-2 Montrose
1988/89 Montrose 2-0 Arbroath
1990/91 Montrose 2-0 Arbroath
2000/01 Arbroath 1-2 Montrose after (0-1, replayed due to Arbroath fiedling an ineligible player and 0-0)
