Raith Rovers vs Livingston preview - Raith in good shape

Posted Friday, April 24, 2015 by PA

Raith Rovers manager Grant Murray has a fully fit and suspension free squad to choose from to face Livingston.

The Kirkcaldy men are looking to end a run of four straight defeats against the relegation strugglers.

Murray said: "Livingston are playing for their place in the Championship and their results had been strong until they lost to Hibs in midweek. They know that they need six points from their last two games to have any chance of surviving and they will be looking to get three of them here.

"However, it is our last home game of the season and we want to end our time here on a high."

Livingston are without defender Darren Cole following his dismissal in the 3-1 defeat by Hibs on Wednesday, however Jason Talbot returns. Craig Sives remains out with an ankle problem and Keaghan Jacobs is a doubt.

A failure to pick up any points in Kirkcaldy could see the Lions relegated but manager Mark Burchill is looking for the win that could help them to safety.

Burchill said: "If we lose we could go down but if we win we could go above Alloa. The last time we were at Stark's Park we won 5-1, however I would settle for a 1-0 win this time out."
