Saints v Raith Preview

Last updated : 30 April 2004 By Stuart Gillespie
There are no players left at Raith from that day, and just Barry Lavety, Ricky Gillies and Hugh Murray in the Saints squad. Only the last two are likely to feature.

A win for Saints, or anything other than an Ayr win, and we're safe. To try and achieve our side of it, Gus MacPherson has almost a full squad to choose from. He's still injured, but Shuggy should be fit to play. The only possible absentees are Mark Crilly and Robert Dunn, the latter having been informed that he has no future at Love Street. With safety all but secured we may see the likes of David McKenna and Scott Gemmill playing, though don't hold your breath.

In amongst Raith's diving cheats is a former Saints player, though thats a bit like saying Kevin Twaddle is a former Saints player. Andy Dow was, and indeed still is, a moany git about anything and everything. He's been sacked you know, as he tells jut about everyone he meets. He missed a penalty against us last season which was quite funny and brightened up a terrible day. Hopefully he'll be anonymous tomorrow as well.

A win would do Saints good, and if Ayr won as well we may still be seeing them, rather than Raith, in division 1 next season.
