Footymad preview History of the Brechin City v Airdrie United fixture

Brechin City prepare to entertain Airdrie United at Glebe Park on Saturday afternoon, looking to improve on a dire past record against their opponents. It does not make pleasant reading, winning just 6 of the 27 games played, and losing 14.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Glebe Park was less than a year ago, in April 2011, with Airdrie United inflicting a narrow 1-2 defeat upon the City in a Scottish Division Two match.
