Raith Rovers vs Glasgow Rangers preview - McKay misses out against Rangers

Posted Thursday, September 11, 2014 by PA

Raith Rovers welcome Rangers to Stark's Park and manager Grant Murray is unable to call on new loan signing Barrie McKay to play against his parent club.

Dougie Hill remains out with a groin injury and Craig Barr is absent with a knee problem while striker Christian Nade is a major doubt with a hamstring concern.

Murray said: "We won well at Cowdenbeath in our last game and will take confidence from that. That confidence will be needed as Rangers are a good side and this will be a difficult game.

"However, it is the first ever Friday night game at Stark's Park and we want to make it memorable."

Rangers striker Kenny Miller could be ruled out of action for several weeks after boss Ally McCoist revealed he suffered a calf injury in training.

The former Scotland international - who has already been sidelined by a hamstring injury this term - is due to undergo a scan to asses the full extent of the injury.

But McCoist has been boosted by the return of striker Jon Daly (knee) and Richard Foster (calf), while goalkeeper Cammy Bell (shoulder) has stepped up his recovery work and is now back in light training.
