Mensing misses Livi finale

Livingston will be without skipper Simon Mensing again against Raith as both sides look to secure a sixth-placed finish.


Mensing misses out due to a knee problem, but Nejc Mevlja and Mark Burchill are expected to return after injury.


Mike Mampuya (knee), Ross Docherty (groin), Kyle Wilkie (ankle) and Andrew Barrowman (hamstring) all remain sidelined.


Manager John McGlynn said: "We do not want Raith to overtake us and we want to finish the season on a high, so there is plenty to play for.


"While April was a disappointing month for us results-wise we are hoping for better now that we are in May."


Raith welcome back Dougie Hill from suspension, but the Stark's Park side have been hit with other bans as Reece Donaldson, Calum Elliot and Gordon Smith all sit it out.


Jason Thomson and Kevin Moon are injury doubts as the Kirkcaldy side look to ensure they do not get sucked down into ninth place with a heavy defeat.


Manager Grant Murray said: "Winning this game would be great in a number of ways as it kills any involvement in the relegation play-offs and it also gives everyone a great boost for the summer.


"It will be difficult as Livingston will want to stay above us as well."
