Fox missing for Raith

Raith will be without Liam Fox for their Fife derby with visitors Cowdenbeath after his dismissal just before half time in Saturday's 1-0 defeat against Falkirk.

Everyone else in the Kirkcaldy squad is available to manager Grant Murray, who said: "Saturday's defeat puts the play-offs almost out of reach for ourselves.

"However if we cannot finish in the top four we will be looking to finish in the top five by winning all of our games starting against Cowdenbeath.

"They had a great result at the weekend and will be fighting for their lives but I am determined that we keep focused and looking for wins."

Cowdenbeath look to win for the second game running for the first time this season however Dean Brett and John Herron miss out with ankle injuries and Lewis Milne is an injury doubt.

Manager Jimmy Nicholl said: "Beating Dumbarton 3-0 at the weekend has given everyone a lift. It was a good display with our strikers looking very dangerous and our defence keeping a clean sheet.

"If we can build on that at Kirkcaldy then we are giving ourselves a great chance to stay in the Championship. It will not be easy as they will be looking to bounce back from a disappointing defeat at Falkirk."
