Forfar Athletic v Stirling Albion

The ‘Loons’ return to Station Park on Saturday after two weekends on the road, god knows how often we have made that statement this season to date.

Stirling Albion will be the visitors for what is sure to be a keenly contested ninety minutes.

The Athies returned to winning ways in dramatic fashion at Cliftonhill on Saturday past in a contest which made light of the underfoot conditions, credit to both sides for that.

This consolidated their second place in the table and they now sit six points clear of third placed Annan Athletic.

Stirling one of two teams to pick up a three point haul against Forfar this term to date slipped to fourth place following a solitary goal reverse at Cowdenbeath.
