Match Preview: 

Raith Rovers head to Greenock this weekend, to take on a Morton side who, like the visitors, are looking to return to winning ways.

While Rovers were losing 1-0 to Queen of the South last Saturday, Gus MacPherson’s men were going down by the same scoreline to Kilmarnock at Rugby Park, their third successive league defeat.

Those results kept the two sides locked together on four points, with Raith sixth and Morton eighth in the Championship table.

Raith will be hoping they can reproduce the same run of results as they did last season against the Cappielow side, with a 100% record across the three fixtures.

The first meeting at Stark’s Park was the most straightforward, with the home side putting in one of their best performances of the season, with goals from Daniel Armstrong, Frankie Musonda, Fernandy Mendy and a brace from Ross Matthews sealing a 5-0 win.

It was tighter affairs in the other two meetings however, with a goal from Iain Davidson enough to see Rovers take all three points at Greenock in February, and it was the same result back at Kirkcaldy in March, thanks to a late goal from Jamie Gullan.

Rovers have the upper hand in this fixture, with seven wins and three defeats from the last 10 meetings.

Saturday’s match referee will be Colin Steven.
