Ayr Utd. face a trip to Raith Rovers at Stark's Park on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Honest Men will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 37 and win only 16 of the 72 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in February 2008, with Ayr Utd. inflicting a narrow 1 - 2 defeat upon the Rovers in a Scottish Division Two match.
