Ross County vs Raith - Defensive duo in for Staggies
Posted Saturday, January 15, 2011 by PA
Ross County have added new defenders Mark Fitzpatrick and Graham Garthland to their squad for the clash with Raith.
Fitzpatrick joins from Motherwell, while Garthland is on loan from St Johnstone.
Midfielder Stuart Kettlewell is suspended, while Darren McCormick and Darren Smith remain sidelined.
Manager Willie McStay has his fingers crossed that Paul Lawson and Michael Gardyne pass fitness tests to be included.
He said: "I am delighted with the additions we have made to the squad and I`m looking forward to seeing them in action against Raith.
"I saw John McGlynn's men play on Boxing Day and they are a useful side but I want us to start a busy time for games with a win."
Raith look set to be without injured striker Gary Wales as they put the only unbeaten away record in the First Division on the line.
They are looking to build on the fine 2-1 win over leaders Dunfermline that they opened the year with.
Boss John McGlynn said: "The main objective is the three points and of course if we achieve that we keep our unbeaten run going.
"It will not be easy as this will be a really, really tight game that may well be settled by one piece of magic from a striker.
"We have players that can do that and so do Ross County, so it may come down to whoever gets a break of the ball."
