Raith Rovers pack their bags to visit Airdrie United at Shyberry Excelsior Stadium on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Rovers will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them ending up on the losing side in more than half of the games played between the two.
The previous match played between the two at Shyberry Excelsior Stadium was within the last three years, in February 2005, the The Diamonds carving out a narrow 2 - 1 victory in a Scottish Division One match.
