Raith Rovers
- Dougie Imrie has had plenty of time to think about his first few games in charge of Raith, having been named as their boss in late November 2025, and he has slowly started to implement the high-tempo, pressing game he used to so much success at Clyde.
- His side have been undone by Arbroath (2-3) at home and Aberdeen FC (1-0) away in the Scottish FA Cup, but the signs of his impact on the squad have been there in the previous three games when they were playing at their highest tempo.
- Raith are in sixth place in Championship 2025/2026 with 25 points from 22 games.
Queen’s Park
- Crighton has been doing a brilliant job at Queen’s Park since he was appointed in May 2025, installing a compact, disciplined structure that his players have defended with grit and determination.
- The Spiders are unbeaten in their last five games, with two wins and three draws, and look set to make a play for the top half of the table.
- The last two of these games have been away fixtures and both ended in draws, so they have the ability to frustrate teams when Crighton sets them up to block Raith and hit on the counterattack.
Head-to-Head
These two teams have each won two of their previous four matchups across all competitions in the past.
Key Players
- The hosts have a quality player in Dylan Easton, who has been their main man with eight goals in 22 Championship 2025/2026 appearances and has scored two of their last four goals.
- Likewise, Queen’s Park have Josh Fowler, who has bagged ten goals in 15 Championship 2025/2026 matches this season and is their biggest threat.
Betting Insights
- Both Teams to Score is favoured at 1.8 for Saturday’s Championship 2025-2026 clash at Stark’s Park.
- Queen’s Park have conceded 19 goals in 10 away fixtures in Championship 2025/2026.
- Raith Rovers have won four, drawn two and lost five of their 11 home Championship 2025/2026 matches.
Prediction
Raith Rovers have been inconsistent at home, winning one of their last three, but they are a threat going forward and should edge Queen’s Park by a single goal in what is likely to be a closely fought match at the top end of the field.
