Monday’s third round draw for the SPFL Trust Trophy handed last season’s Scottish Championship runners-up Raith Rovers a trip to Ayr United on the weekend of September 7/8.

The tie looks to be a tough one for Raith – defeated 1-0 at home by eventual winners Airdrieonians in the semi-finals of last year’s tournament – after Ayr’s fine start to the new Championship season, with Scott Brown’s side currently top after winning each of their first three league games in 2024-25.

Ironically, Raith’s next fixture is in the league against Ayr at Somerset Park this Saturday.
