Raith Rovers face a trip to Brechin City at Glebe Park on Saturday afternoon, looking to further improve upon a decent past record there. So far, the Rovers have winning an impressive 15 games, and losing 6.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in March 2007, with Raith Rovers inflicting a narrow 1 - 2 defeat upon the The City in a Scottish Division Two match.
