Raith Rovers travel to take on Dundee at Dens Park 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 lose 33 and win only 10 of the 56 games.
The last time the two teams met at Dundee was more than a decade ago, in January 1998, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1 - 1 final scoreline in a Scottish Division One match.
