M'Voto's future with Rovers on hold meantime - FFP.

From today's FFP Hughes is still hopeful of bringing a fresh face to the squad although that could depend on whether he can reach agreement with Aberdeen to terminate the loan of Aaron Lennox, which would free up space for another emergency loan signing. On the injury front, Iain Davidson returned to training this week, while Mark Stewart and Connor Brennan are expected back next week. Long-term absentee Scott Robertson is also nearing a return. However, the news is less positive for Kevin Cuthbert, who is not expected to feature again this season due to a pelvic problem. Edit to add link to FFP.

3-0 now

If anyone's interested...

Get yourselves to Kelty this evening even though it's baltic.

Syme has just scored for Cowdenbeath to put them 2-0 up away to Clyde.

Coin incident report now in FFP.

Hope the wee scrote has read this and is shitting in his boots. Knowing our weak kneed judges all he'll probably get will be a life ban from Tannadice. Lucky b*****d.

On a brighter note here is a link to Rovers U20s and the two goals from last week's game against Stirling Albion. Lovely build up for both goals.

John Hughes in Deadline News this morning. Meanwhile, Hughes believes he was in the frame for the Motherwell job but insists he is fully committed to hauling Raith Rovers away from relegation trouble. The former Falkirk, Hibs and Inverness Caley Thistle boss has admitted he was aware of interest from Fir Park as the Steelmen sought a successor to Mark McGhee before they handed the job to Stephen Robinson. Hughes, who has only been in charge of Rovers for five games, is said to have removed himself from the race for the post at the 11th hour. But he is adamant his focus has never wavered from the massive job he has in keeping Raith away from bottom spot in the Championship. He said: “I’m the manager of Raith Rovers, so I couldn’t speak to Motherwell. “The one thing I’ll say is I pride myself in my honesty and my loyalty – maybe that’s my weakness as well, maybe I should look after myself. “But I’m committed to Raith Rovers and I’ll be here to the end of the season. “I knew they [Motherwell] were interested but I’m 100 per cent focused on Raith Rovers. “All my focus is on working with these boys and getting the best out of them, and trying to get a win.”

Ryan Stevenson on retiring.

Craig Easton's fortnightly column in the FFP. It's heartening the way he goes about his business - one of the few positives in this rather disappointing season.

"Others are showing up well, like wee Scott Roberts. I told him after training that we’re recognising the work he’s putting in and the way he is training, he’ll get himself in the team." There's just one wee problem with that - he's fucking useless.

Hughes hopeful of adding to squad - today's FFP.

McManus is another one.

No betting on the next Motherwell manager at McBookie just now.

Stephen Robinson now 4/6, Hughes out to 6/4. ETA Means nowt.

You could be right. Final tweet from the game late last night: 3 starters miss 1st half due to traffic, sub goalie injured in warm up, defender @joshmac9850 magnificent in goal - win 2-0. What a team!

FT 2-0 Rovers. Matthew Elder tweet A great performance from Josh MacDonald before Rory Brian took over the gloves at half time.

Just following twitter. Rovers aren't the only team to have problems tonight. Not their fault the bridge was closed until about 6.30pm - I think that's why the goalie was missing. The tailbacks on the bridge caused the Brechin v Airdrie game to be delayed until almost 9.00pm. Cowdenbeath's kick off was also delayed until after 8.00pm. 1-1 there incidentally, Dale Carrick equalising just after half time.
