History of the Ross County v Raith Rovers fixture

Raith Rvs face a trip to Ross County at Victoria Park on Saturday evening, looking to break their duck against the hosts. Most of the previous meetings have ended up in defeat for the Rovers.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was was two seasons ago, in February 2002, when they eased past their opponents in a high-scoring 4 - 2 thriller, in a Scottish Division One match.
