Raith Rovers gaffer McGlynn fields unchanged starting line-up against leaders

First plays second today in the Scottish Championship and Raith Rovers manager John McGlynn is sticking by a winning formula as his side prepares to face leaders Inverness Caledonian Thistle at Stark’s Park.

The Kirkcaldy side’s boss has opted for the same starting XI – and the same order on the bench – which ended Arbroath’s good run of results last week.

Billy Dodds’ Inverness side have been beaten only once in the league this term and shaded a very close earlier game against Raith in the north east back in August, thanks to a ‘wonder strike’ by Roddy MacGregor.
