Livingston vs Raith Rovers preview - Lions missing injured trio

Livingston are again without Kevin Walker, Simon Mensing and Declan Gallagher due to knee injuries when Raith Rovers visit while Bradley Donaldson is also absent with an ankle problem.

The Lions go into the game on the back of a 4-0 success over Alloa with manager John McGlynn aware of the incentives for his side.

"We did not play any better than we have been playing but we were much more clinical in front of goal," he said.

"We knew that if we won last weekend we would climb the table and we have the same incentive this week. Hopefully we can get the same result although Raith will want to bounce back after losing to Rangers."

The Kirkcaldy side welcome back striker Christian Nade from a hamstring injury however goalkeeper Kevin Cuthbert remains out following shoulder surgery.

Dougie Hill had a groin operation recently and he also remains absent with Craig Barr missing following surgery on his knee.

Manager Grant Murray said: "The 4-0 defeat from Rangers was disappointing however apart from a silly 60 seconds when we went from one goal to three goals down there were things to be pleased about.

"Our aim is to build on those good things at Livingston and having Christian back will help. We have won away from home twice and our aim is to make that three times."
