Raith Rovers: Three to watch

Scott Brown

The captain is a vital cog in the Rovers machine.

Bringing balance and poise to the centre of the field, the 28-year-old has been a great addition to Ian Murray’s squad since arriving from Peterhead last summer.

Brown made his return from injury in last weekend’s 6-1 win over Cove Rangers and immediately slotted in alongside Brad Spencer to help make Rovers tick.

While his team-mates may grab the headlines, the importance of Brown’s calming presence shouldn’t be underestimated as the Kirkcaldy men look to retain the trophy.

Aidan Connolly

Raith’s number seven is enjoying another productive cinch Championship campaign and his performance could be crucial if Rovers are to come out on top again.

Connolly has hit double figures in terms of goals with 15 in all competitions so far and he’s sure to keep the Hamilton defence busy with his ability to cut inside from wide positions.

Blessed with fine technique and a wicked shot, Connolly is capable of the spectacular and there’d be no better showcase for his talents than Sunday’s final.

As well as finding the net, Connolly also tops the assist list for Raith with five so far this term.

Dylan Easton

Like his manager, Easton made the move from Airdrieonians in the summer and the pair have thrived in their new surroundings.

The 28-year-old loves to find pockets of space to hurt the opposition and with seven goals and three assists to his name, he’ll be expected to share the creative burden alongside Connolly.

Easton has already scored twice against Accies this season so John Rankin won’t need any reminder about the former Livingston player’s threat.

The midfielder’s wonderfully executed volley last weekend provides a glimpse into one of the lower leagues’ most exciting players.
