Match preview

Raith Rovers should edge past Elgin City in the Challenge Cup quarter-finals, but the Borough Briggs outfit are unlikely to go down without a fight.

The Kirkcaldy side reached the top of Ladbrokes League One at the weekend and are particularly strong at their Stark's Park stronghold, winning seven and drawing two of their last nine home games in all competitions.

Elgin, though, are on a great run of five wins and a draw and have also won at Dundee and drawn at Alloa in cup ties this term.

Rovers should have too much for them but the Moray side, with 19-goal Shane Sutherland, should contribute to the goal tally.

Key stat

Elgin have scored 16 goals in their last six matches in all competitions.
