The Pars travel to Kirkcaldy on Saturday for the fourth match between the sides.

So far Jim Jefferies record as Pars Manager against the Rovers is played three won three and to make it four in a row is the objective.

Husband 1-1

Raith are ten points behind their West Fife rivals but everybody knows when it comes to local derbies form books and past history cannot be assumed to follow. Dunfermline have only won one of their last nine games but at least last Saturday they stopped the bad run by scrambling back for a draw.

Andy Kirk v Raith Rovers

Raith Rovers started the season off in fine form winning their first five matches and then knocking Ross County out of the Scottish Communities Cup in Dingwall but since the Pars beat them 3-1 in Kirkcaldy in November they have managed only three wins.  These were all at home against Highland League Deveronvale in the Scottish Cup, Airdrie United and Dumbarton in the First Division.
