The Rovers will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them ending up on the losing side in more than half of the games played between the two.
The previous match played between the two at Strathclyde Homes Stadium was within the last three years, in May 2003, when they eased past their opponents in a high-scoring 4 - 1 thriller, in a Scottish Division Two match.
