Dundee v Raith - Leaders Raith look to end Dundee`s Dens Park joy
Posted Saturday, September 18, 2010 by PA
Dundee goalkeeper Rab Douglas is available after suspension for the visit of league leaders Raith.
Gordon Chisholm`s side will, however, be without Dominic Shimmin, Charlie Grant and Mickael Antoine-Curier who all remain absent through injury.
Striker David Witteveen is a doubt, although the on-loan Hearts man returned to training on Thursday and his chances of playing have increased to 50/50.
Chisholm is looking for his side to keep their fine home form going.
He said: "Our home record is very good and if we can build on that and grab a win we will move up the table.
"We will need to play well as Raith are top on merit but there will be a big crowd here and we want to put on a good show."
First Division leaders Raith will be missing injured defenders Mark Campbell and Dougie Hill.
Winger Scott McBride will also miss out having not fully recovered from his bout of tonsillitis.
Ahead of the encounter, Kirkcaldy boss John McGlynn insisted he is not getting fooled by their hosts` mid-table position.
He said: "Dundee's home form is really impressive and they have yet to even concede a goal at Dens Park having played three games there.
"We battled hard to keep our unbeaten run going at Ross County last weekend and we will need to do the same this week."
The Rovers boss added: "We have the players that can nick a goal but it is a very difficult venue to take anything from."
