Match Preview

Dark Blues hope for striker boost Dundee hope to have strikers Steven Milne and Carl Finnigan back from injury as they look to bounce back from defeat to Hamilton in midweek by beating visitors Raith. The result against the Accies means that the Dark Blues sit 15 points behind leaders Ross County, but manager Barry Smith is not overly concerned. He said: "That game is gone now so we move on but I am expecting a massive response in this one after a poor performance. "Raith Rovers will be fighting for everything and we will need to go out there and match that. There are still 24 points to play for and I want us to go out and win every game between now and the end of the season." Raith will be without suspended striker Brian Graham as they look to end a run of three consecutive 1-0 defeats at the hands of their hosts. Goalkeeper David McGurn is included in Rovers' matchday squad, with manager John McGlynn expecting him to start between the sticks after suffering no adverse reaction in his comeback game last weekend after a shoulder injury. McGlynn said: "I watched Dundee at Hamilton in midweek and I would reckon that their manager Barry Smith will be looking for a response after that defeat. However, we have ourselves to look after. "We got a deserved injury-time equaliser against Ayr last week and I want us to build on that by getting the points in this one. There are eight games left and we need to be up for every one."
