Recap
The last time both sides met at Netherdale, it was The Shire who would head home with the three points – winning 2-0.
Gala Fairydean Rovers would have been hoping for a better result on the opening day of the 23/24 campaign – losing 3-0 away to Bo’ness United at Newtown Park.
Having left the Falkirk Council area empty-handed, they’ll be hoping to get some goals and points on the board in front of their own crowd at the iconic Netherdale – as they welcome the other half of the Falkirk area, East Stirling.
A tough opener for The Shire as they lost 2-1 to hotly tipped Tranent at Falkirk Stadium. Broque Watson put the visitors ahead on the 32nd minute, and Cammy Ross doubled the advantage four minutes later. Shaun Brown pulled one back for the hosts with a nice finish before the break.
East Stirling will be looking to put Gala to the sword, and Pat Scullion will be hoping to get their season underway in Galashiels.
