History of the East Fife v Stenhousemuir fixture

Stenhousemuir face a trip to East Fife at Bayview Stadium on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Warriors will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 36 and win only 14 of the 59 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in January 2004, the Fifers carving out a narrow 1 - 0 victory in a Scottish Division Two match.
