History of the Greenock Morton v Stirling Albion fixture

Morton prepare to entertain Stirling Albion at Cappielow Park on Saturday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The The 'Ton are clearly on top, having won 14 and lost only 3 of the 27 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Cappielow Park was just last season, in March 2003, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2-2 draw in a Scottish Division Three match.
