Raith Rovers face a trip to 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 most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in May 2008, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2 - 2 draw in an Scottish League Play-Offs (Lvls 2&3) match.
