Footymad preview History of the Raith Rovers v Livingston fixture

Livingston face a trip to Raith Rovers at Stark's Park on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Livi will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them ending up on the losing side in more than half of the games played between the two.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Stark's Park was less than a year ago, in April 2012, as the visitors ran out cosy 0-3 winners in a Scottish Division One match.
