Competition: Scotland Football League
Date: Wed 28.August
Match begins: 18:45 (UTC)
Venue: 3G Arena (4000 seats)

The Gala Fairydean Rovers manager D. Shanks attacks this game with the team placed 10th so far. In the visitors dressing room East Stirlingshire and their manager D. Ure are in 9th place before this match.

It's no vacation for neither Gala Fairydean Rovers nor East Stirlingshire as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting East Stirlingshire have a different surface at their stadium (artificial turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 4-4-6 (win-draw-loss) from 14 matches.
