East Fife face a trip to Albion Rovers at Cliftonhill on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Fifers 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 2005, where East Fife annihilated the Fifers 0 - 6 in a Scottish Division Three match.
