Dumbarton vs Raith Rovers preview - Turner sits it out for Sons

Dumbarton will be without Chris Turner when they host Raith Rovers.

Turner has a thigh injury and looks to be the only absentee for the Sons, who are looking to win for the second successive weekend and climb above their opponents in the table.

"It was a very good win at Alloa and it would be terrific to make it six points out of six by beating Raith," said Dumbarton manager Ian Murray.

"But they will be out to make up for a disappointing result against Livingston last weekend and that will make them very difficult opponents.

"A win in this game takes us closer to the targets we set ourselves at the start of the season."

Raith will be without the suspended Ross Perry.

However, Rovers have the fit-again Jimmy Scott and Liam Fox back in contention as they look to move on from their 5-1 defeat to Livingston.

Elsewhere for the Kirkcaldy side, Kevin Cuthbert remains out after shoulder surgery and Craig Barr is not yet ready after a knee operation.

"It was a heavy defeat last weekend but the best way to get over it is by getting a win over Dumbarton," said Raith manager Grant Murray.

"They will be coming to the game on a high, but we are looking to hit back positively. A win takes us onto the shoulders of the play-off teams and that is not too bad a place to be."
