Raith vs Queen of South preview - Triple boost for Raith
Posted Monday, April 14, 2014 by PA
Raith will welcome back a trio of players from suspension when they host Queen of the South with Kevin Moon, Liam Fox and Joe Cardle available.
Dougie Hill is banned after being sent off for the Ramsdens Cup holders in Saturday's 3-1 defeat to Dumbarton.
Greig Spence is an injury doubt, with manager Grant Murray saying: "We are in better shape than we were on Saturday. A win would lift us above Alloa and further away from Cowdenbeath in ninth place.
"Queen of the South have plenty to play for so we need to be ready as I don't want this season to fade away."
Queen of the South have doubts over Mark Kerr and Michael Paton as they look to re-open a three-point gap on Dumbarton in the race for the last remaining play-off place.
Manager Jim McIntyre is looking for his men to turn chances into goals.
He said: "We lost 2-1 to Falkirk at the weekend as we couldn't convert good openings. Raith did really well to win the Ramsdens Cup and they showed against Rangers what a good side they are.
"They are also looking to hit back after a disappointment, so we have a tough job on our hands to get the win."
