History of the Stirling Albion v Peterhead fixture

Peterhead face a trip to Stirling Albion at Forthbank Stadium on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The The Blue Toon will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them being consigned to defeat by opponents in 5 of the 8 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in January 2006, the Binos carving out a narrow 2 - 1 victory in a Scottish Division Two match.
