Raith Rovers will be looking to bounce back from last week's 2-1 defeat to Dumbarton against in-form Hibernian.

Alan Stubbs' side have suffered just one defeat since September, albeit in their most recent away game at Falkirk, with Dominique Malonga prospering in the absence of injured fellow striker Farid Al Alagui, who is expected to be back in January.

This is Hibernian’s first visit to Stark’s Park on league duty for 15 years and the game will see Kirkcaldy-born Lewis Stevenson play in his home town for the first time.

Grant Murray’s side have lost their last three league games but Stevenson is not expecting an easy ride.

He said: "I expect it to be another hard game but our away form has been good – only that blip at Falkirk – in the past few months.

“It’s hard to break teams down when they come to Easter Road intent on defending but I think the onus is on the home team a bit more to play attacking football and that helps us as it creates more space and we have the players who can exploit those situations.”
