History of the Elgin City v Stenhousemuir fixture

Stenhousemuir face a trip to Elgin City at Borough Briggs on Tuesday evening, looking to break their duck against the hosts. The two previous games have resulted in one drawn game and one defeat for the Warriors.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in May 2005, when they eased past their opponents in a high-scoring 4 - 2 thriller, in a Scottish Division Three match.
