Raith Rovers pack their bags to visit Partick Thistle at Firhill 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 lose 41 and win only 10 of the 65 games.
The previous match played between the two at Firhill Stadium was more than three years back, in January 2006, the The Jags carving out a narrow 1 - 0 victory in a Scottish Division Two match.
