Stranraer have not lost in their last eleven matches since Dunfermline defeated them at the end of October

Jim Jefferies & Stranraer Manager

Season 1994-1995 was the last season Dunfermline Athletic and Stranraer were in the same league. In the two matches this season Dunfermline have won both, 3-1 at East End Park on the last day of August and then 2-1 at Stair Park on the last Saturday in October. It is now 18 meetings back since Stranraer last won against the Pars.  

Out of 36 fixtures between the two, the Galloway opposition have won just three times and only one of  those wins was at East End Park. Stranraer have drawn once in 18 visits and the match they won 4-2 was in the League Cup in season 1979-80. Goals by McAloon (65 pen) and Robertson (77) had put the Pars two up but Stranraer got it level to force extra time in which they scored another two.

Manager Jim Jefferies watched them hold Rangers to a draw at Ibrox on Boxing Day and as he often does in League One noted a side with experienced players who will try and make it difficult for his young Pars team. Their 4-0 win on Saturday over fourth placed Ayr United raised the alarm bells.
