Match Preview
Duncan misses Rovers clash Ross County midfielder Russell Duncan will sit out the visit of Raith Rovers. Duncan is carrying a foot injury and will be joined on the sidelines by Sam Morrow, who remains out with an Achilles problem. The leaders are going for their ninth league win in a row, but manager Derek Adams is not getting carried away. He said: "It was great to go to Livingston last week and score three times and get the club's first-ever win there, but nothing else has been achieved. "Raith Rovers are coming here on the back of a good win themselves over Hamilton and with a rejuvenated squad with the arrival of three Hearts players on loan, so this will be a really tough game." Rovers captain Iain Davidson is available for the trip to the Highlands. Davidson has been on the sidelines for six weeks with a knee injury but has been passed fit. Midfielder Ross Callaghan is also fit again but goalkeeper Ross Laidlaw and winger Scott McBride remain out. Stark's Park boss John McGlynn said: "County are on a great run but we will take confidence from a very welcome win over Hamilton last weekend and look to build on that. "They beat us 1-0 in our last meeting, and while they were better than us there was not much in it so we have nothing to fear."

Match Report
Ross are the boss Ross County recorded their ninth league win in a row with a 4-2 home victory over Raith. Derek Adams' men fell behind twice, however, first when Allan Walker squeezed home an opener from the left by-line after 12 minutes. Rocco Quinn equalised in the 28th minute with a clinical right-footed strike, but the hosts fell behind again nine minutes before half-time, Walker again on the scoresheet with a stunning drive. However, two headers from Colin McMenamin put County in the driving seat. His first came in first-half stoppage time, converting Gary Miller's cross, and the former Dundee man was again on hand in the 62nd minute to nod home Michael Gardyne's centre. Gardyne assured victory for the hosts when he let fly with a 25-yarder nine minutes from time.
