After losing at Livingston last weekend Colin Cameron will be looking to get back to winning ways when we host Raith Rovers in the final home Fife derby game of the season at Central Park on Saturday, kick off 3 p.m.
 

In the two previous meetings with the Rovers this season we have drawn both games despite behind two goals ahead three times in the encounters!

Back in October goals from Kyle Miller and Jamie Stevenson had us two goals up at Central Park but goals from Brian Graham and Greig Spence levelled the score at the interval.

Lewis Coult then came off the bench to put us ahead 4-2 with a quick brace, before Pat Clarke and Simon Mensing with a 94th minute leveller gave the Rovers a point.

It felt like a case of “Groundhog Day” as we closed 2012 at Starks Park. Lewis Coult and Stevenson with a penalty had us two up at the break, but two early goals at the start of the second half from Dougie Hill and young Spence saw another draw.
