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 most recent encounter between these two sides was earlier this season, with Raith Rovers inflicting a narrow 0 - 1 defeat upon the The Diamonds in a Scottish Division Two match.
