Information |
The Pars travel to Kirkcaldy on Saturday for the first league match between the sides since March 2013. Back then the Pars were on the brink of going into administration but Jim Jefferies retained his unbeaten record in the four matches against the Rovers that season with a 1-1 draw. Greig Spence had opened the scoring for the Rovers in 39 minutes and Andy Geggan got a 57th minute equaliser. Geggan and Joe Cardle are the sole survivors from the Dunfermline team that day.
Since then there have been two League Cup ties between the sides both at East End Park with one win each in those. This week Raith sit top of the Championship after wins at Ayr and against St Mirren at home last Saturday.
