The Ladbrokes Premiership play-offs get under way on Wednesday evening when Raith Rovers take on Hibernian at Stark’s Park, kick-off 7.45pm.

The second leg goes ahead at Easter Road on Saturday, kick-off 12.30pm, with the winners up against Falkirk in the semi-finals on Tuesday May 10 and Friday May 13, live on BT Sport.

Hibernian have held the upper hand in games between the teams, winning 2-0 and 1-0 in the capital and 2-1 in Kirkcaldy. Hibs also won 1-0 at Stark’s Park in the Scottish Cup but Rovers triumphed 2-1 in the most recent encounter in the Championship in March.

Ray McKinnon’s men go into the game on the back of an 11-match unbeaten run since losing to Rangers at the beginning of March while Hibs have taken 10 points from 12 since reaching the Scottish Cup final but finished third in the table, behind Falkirk on goal difference.

Elsewhere tonight, Stranraer play Livingston in the first leg of the Championship semi-final at Stair Park and Queen’s Park host Cowdenbeath at Hampden in the League 1 play-off.
