He said: “I’d ask folk to come along on the day to listen to some great music and support our charities as well as our local football club.

"Doors open at 1pm, pay at the door and folk can wear Raith colours.

"It’s always a good day out.

"There will also be a raffle and auction later in the day with all profit being given to charities and club.”

The local charities set to benefit include Paige’s Musical Butterflies, set up in memory of teenager Paige Dougall who passed away earlier this year from Ewing’s Sarcoma; Fife Rape and Sexual Assault Centre (FRASAC); Linton Lane Centre and the children and young people’s unit at Dunfermline's Queen Margaret Hospital.

Over the years, Rock the Rovers has donated thousands to the football team, as well as many other good causes and charities.

Tickets, priced £12, will be available on the day at the door.
