Match preview

Kilmarnock secured the Scottish Championship title with a win over Arbroath last week but look unlikely to end the season with a win when they visit Raith Rovers.

The hosts have won two of their three meetings with Killie this year and can still mathematically make the playoffs, although it would require Partick Thistle to lose at Ayr and an eight-goal swing in their favour.

With the title secured, it’s possible Kilmarnock could take their foot off the gas and Raith could be the beneficiaries.

Elsewhere in the division, the biggest games concern Ayr and Dunfermline’s battle to avoid the relegation playoff spot.

Dunfermline currently occupy that unwanted position and must better Ayr result on the to avoid leapfrog United to safety.
