Match Preview
Bairns suffer Scobbie blow Falkirk look set to be without Thomas Scobbie for the visit of Raith Rovers after the full-back aggravated an ankle knock in training. Bairns boss Steven Pressley will check the fitness of Stephen Kingsley and Jay Fulton before naming his side as the duo played two games this week in Serbia for the national under-18 side. Club technical director Alex Smith said: "We have plenty of reasons for winning this game. We still want to finish second in the table and also we are at home and want to win it for our fans. "Raith will be fighting for everything and that makes the game similar to our contest with Queen of the South last week that we came within inches of winning but hit the woodwork twice." Relegation-threatened Raith have a doubt over striker Pat Clarke. Clarke has been struggling with a virus and he could join suspended captain Iain Davidson on the sidelines. Kirkcaldy manager John McGlynn said: "We need to play with a lot of passion, effort and enthusiasm in this game as winning is vital. "We started the league season with a win over Falkirk and since then have drawn with them and lost a game but we can win this one by working our socks off. "It will be a tough, tough game, a tight game but it would be great to be heading into the match with Queen of the South next week with a win behind us."
