History of the Montrose v Dumbarton fixture

Dumbarton travel to take on Montrose at Links Park Ground on Saturday morning, hoping to improve upon an average previous return from this fixture. Of the 50 games played, Sons have recorded 16 wins, and Montrose have come away with 24 victories.

The last time the two teams met at Montrose was just over four years ago, in March 2002, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1 - 1 final scoreline in a Scottish Division Three match.
