Match Preview:
It’s the penultimate league match of the season this weekend, and Rovers are once again on their travels, as they head to Cappielow to take on Dougie Imrie’s Greenock Morton side.
Rovers will be looking to build on a fine result from last weekend, when they won 1-0 at Inverness, although the result was reliant on an excellent performance from goalkeeper, Kevin Dabrowski, who pulled off a series of fine stops, as he notched up his 13th clean sheet in all competitions this season.
With the playoff spots from the Championship now all locked in, Rovers know they’ll be playing the winners of the quarter final between Partick Thistle and Airdrie.
Saturday’s opponents, Morton were looking good for a playoff spot themselves, after a brilliant unbeaten run of 16 matches, which stretched from November until the end of February.
However, last weekend’s win over Arbroath was just the side’s second in 11 outings, ruling them out of contention for the top four spots.
Rovers have a good record against The Ton this campaign, taking seven points out of a possible nine from the three meetings so far.
Rovers won by the odd goal in five at Stark’s Park in August, racing into a two goal lead in the opening quarter of an hour, thanks to Jack Hamilton and Lewis Vaughan. However, Morton equalised through the two Robbie’s, Muirhead and Crawford, although a goal from Callum Smith saw Raith eventually win 3-2 in a ding-dong affair.
Rovers came out on top by a single goal in the next meeting too in October, thanks to a brace from Aidan Connnolly in a 2-1 win at Cappielow, but there were no goals in a low key meeting between the two when they last met in February.
Saturday’s match referee will be Colin Steven.
Head-To-Head Record:
Morton wins: 67
Raith Rovers wins: 59
Draws: 38
