Former Hearts striker Christian Nade netted the equaliser for Raith Rovers in Saturday’s 1-1 draw against Hibernian at Easter Road.
The Frenchman will now be hoping to help Grant Murray’s men get the better of Queen of the South in Friday’s Stark’s Park clash, which is live on BBC ALBA at 7.35pm.
The 30-year-old ex-Sheffield United forward is the latest player to fall under the SPFL Spotlight.
What’s the best goal you have ever scored?
That came in a Sheffield United against Arsenal game back in December 2006. Arsenal were all over us, and we counter attacked. Alan Quinn passed to me and I turned past Kolo Toure before beating Jens Lehman from 20 yards. It was to be the winning goal in a 1-0 victory.
What’s the best game you have played in?
The Arsenal game. I scored the only goal which makes it the best game even though I had another one cancelled out for offside. We played with Phil Jagielka in goals for most of the second half after Paddy Kenny was injured so to win that day was fantastic.
What is your favourite away ground?
In England it has to be Old Trafford. I played there for Sheffield United and, even though we lost 2-0, it was a great place to play football. In Scotland my favourite ground is Tynecastle. I played there for three years and it was always a special atmosphere.
What is your favourite other sport?
I like tennis and basketball. In tennis Novak Djokovic is my favourite player. There is not a lot of basketball to watch in Scotland but I follow the NBA really closely. Orlando Magic are my favourite team.
Which player in the world would you bring to Raith Rovers?
If I could I would not sign a present-day player but one from a long time ago. I would bring Pele as he is a hero of mine and it would have been great to play alongside him when he was starring for Brazil.
What was your favourite pre-match meal?
I do not eat anything before a match.
Who is your favourite singer?
I am not a big music fan and only listen to a small amount of R’n’B. The music the players put on in the dressing room at Raith is terrible and I put on my headphones and listen to passages from the Bible when it is on. That gets me into the mood for games.
Who is the biggest moaner you played with?
Not a difficult question! Michael Stewart, who I played alongside at Hearts.
Who has the best football tricks?
Mehdi Taouil (nominated for the second time this season) was unbelievable. He was full of tricks when I played alongside him in France.
Who is the worst dressed at the club?
I do not want to be making any enemies at my club so I will say all of them are pretty decent dressers. Well, all of them apart from Rory McKeown - the clothes he wears are far too tight on him!
Who is the best trainer at the club?
Our captain Jason Thomson sets a really good example by working hard in every training session. Liam Fox is another player who is really good when it comes to training.
Who is the best dancer?
Another question that is not too difficult to answer – Me! No contest.
