Match Preview:
Raith Rovers head to the Penny Cars Stadium this weekend, looking for their third consecutive win, and their third consecutive clean sheet.
After eliminating Falkirk from the Challenge Cup a fortnight ago by two goals to nil, Rovers put in one of their best performances in some time, with their 4-0 win over Peterhead last time out.
That win kept them second in the League One table, two points behind East Fife, and one ahead of third placed Falkirk.
Saturday’s opponents, Airdrie have started the season well too, sitting fourth in the table, while the Diamonds are on a run of just one defeat in six matches.
They go into this one on the back of a solid away win, after a 1-0 victory at Dumbarton, a side who were also on a hot streak until that reverse.
Callum Gallagher scored the only goal, and the forward has started the season well, with five goals to his credit so far.
Rovers had a formidable record in this one last season, taking 10 points from a possible 12, with the sensational 4-3 win in August the stand out result.
Raith have an excellent record in general against the Diamonds, with eight wins and two draws from their last 10 meetings.
Saturday’s match referee will be Steven Reid.
