Match Preview:

Raith Rovers will be looking to make it 10 games unbeaten this weekend, when they take on Hamilton Academically at New Douglas Park.

Both teams go into this one on the back of a 1-1 draw, with Rovers grabbing a point in Dumfries against the Doonhamers, while Hamilton were denied all three points by Arbroath, who equalised in injury time.

Despite that disappointment, that made it three games unbeaten for the Accies, who now sit seventh in the Championship, two points above ninth placed Queen of the South, and six above bottom club Dunfermline.

This will be Rovers first trip to the venue in seven years, with Hamilton emerging as winners by the odd goal in five.

John Baird had given Rovers the lead, before Tony Andrew and James Keatings swung the match Hamilton’s way.

However, Baird equalised just a moment after Keatings strike, only for Jason Scotland to win it in injury time.

That drama still didn’t match up to what unfolded the last time the sides met this season however, when Raith contrived to let a four goal lead slip in the final 20 minutes, in an incredible 4-4 draw back in July.

Hamilton hold the upper hand in the most recent fixtures, with five wins and two draws from the last 10 meetings.

Saturday’s match referee will be Peter Stuart.
