I have a bad feeling Ross County's luck is about to run out.

Would be a disaster for us if they came down.

If anyone needed an illustration of the gap between the Championship and Premiership, St Johnstone finished the season with a squad of 45(!) and have been relegated.

That took me right back to last season.

We are still in it, at least, even if that was not an ideal result.

At least we know if it's possible and what we will need to do before we play QP. No surprises.

This seems unideal ahead of their most important match of the season.

There is not a more predictable starting XI in the league than our own.

We won't be finishing 4th this season, so at least we've taken the chance to sabotage the chances of tonight's opponents doing so.

I am not sold on Robson at all. Fully accept it's not his team, but there are a lot of questions already - pretty clear he has no time for a think of the squad and his use of subs is becoming insufferable.

Oh look, we're now losing. Unacceptable.

The end of this season really cannot come soon enough.

Appreciate that it's not his squad, but Robson's use of subs (or more accurately, lack thereof) is already becoming tedious.

An absolutely dreadful game of football. It would've finished on minus goals if it were possible to do so.

Nothing about that match is indicative of how the rest of our season will go. The gap is simply too wide.

Use of subs was a bit concerning though.

Really not pleased to see him blatantly making things up here.

Negative fan comments came only when it was apparent to all that he had downed tools.

To paraphrase, he's not expected back anytime soon.

Was delighted with this signing when it was made, but he hasn't done what we hoped he would and his inability to stay fit has proven infuriating. I don't think he is suited to full-time football.

Stanton being sent to a team in the league below, on loan, tells you absolutely everything you need to know.

Massively unexpected win, with several players missing and a bit of a thrown together team. Absolutely fair play to Robson for seeing that through.

Of all the reasons tomorrow's match might get called off, "gas leak" was well down my list.

Very true. Can't be easy.

Without meaning to single out individual players, the enforced change before kick off had an air of inevitably about it as well.

If there's any solace, Robson has been brought in with sufficient time to remedy these defects, or at least attempt to.

On the other hand, I am currently catastrophising that the banter has returned and we will go down via the playoffs.

Hanlon injured in the warm up, 2-0 down in 15mins. A dismal start.

Probably get a red card as well today to complete the misery.

Raith Rovers name Barry Robson as new boss as Neill Collins’ successor is hailed as ‘perfect fit’ The former Dundee United midfielder is the Stark's Park club's third manager of the season.

New manager at 8pm. 😬

David Martindale doesn't half talk some nonsense. Complaining about Livingston having no money whilst they pocket c£1.5m in parachute payments and UEFA solidarity payments. Funds that no other club at our level benefits from.

That's another excellent win. Only a point behind 5th place now and with a game in hand.

Delighted for Aidan Connolly. Looked like he was on his way out, but he's been a breath of fresh air since coming back into the team.

Great to see him back at his best.

A substitute footballer prepares to take a shot from 40 yards.

The last 12 months in Raith Rovers: a thread.

Raith Rovers are 2-0 up against Arbroath, who have so few substitutes they need to put their reserve goalkeeper on as an outfield player. He scores from 40 yards. Arbroath go on to draw 2-2.

I can't be the only one that thinks it'll be Ian Murray to Dunfermline?

More competition whilst we are also seeking a new manager is far from ideal.
