This week FootyMad's match preview focuses on the game between Ross County and Falkirk at 15:00 on Saturday, 14th August 2010 in the Scottish Division One.
|
Ross County play host to Falkirk at Victoria Park on Saturday afternoon, looking to improve on a dire past record against their opponents. It does not make pleasant reading, winning just 2 of the 11 games played, and losing 7.
The last time the two teams met at Ross County was just over four years ago, in February 2006, with Falkirk inflicting a narrow 0-1 defeat upon the County in a Scottish F.A. Cup match.
