History of the Greenock Morton v Raith Rovers fixture

Raith Rovers pack their bags to visit Greenock Morton at Cappielow 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 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 Cappielow Park was within the last three years, in December 2006, the The 'Ton carving out a narrow 1 - 0 victory in a Scottish Division Two match.

Recent respective form guides

Greenock Morton's woeful home form means they have chalked up just a single victory, with 5 defeats, from the last six. The 'Ton have conceded a disappointing 9 goals in this period, and managed to convert only 1 of their own chances.

Raith Rovers's away form is none too clever either, winning and losing 3 each of the last six games. A generous 8 goals have been both scored and conceded in this period.

Morton are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 9 points from 13 matches. Raith Rovers's 21 points from 13 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 5th position.
