Mcglynn urges in-form Raith to replicate Pars punishment against Livingston

Raith boss John Mcglynn knows they face a tough task to replicate against Livingston what he was told was among the club's best performances.

But the former Livi boss believes they can create chances at the Tony Macaroni Arena today if they produce the sort of passing that lit up Tuesday's 5-1 demolition of fellow Championship promotion hopefuls Dunfermline in the Fife derby.

Rovers have beaten Celtic in a cup final and led Bayern Munich at half-time in the Olympic Stadium in Germany, but for some fans thrashing their local rivals was as good as it gets.

"What's hit me is the older generation of Rovers fans who have got in contact and said how they have seen all the teams for many, many years, going back to the 90s and what have you, and they all thought that Tuesday night's complete performance was the best they have ever seen," Mcglynn told Raith TV. "That means a lot for everyone involved when people like that tell you that.

"Obviously the other night we clicked, Dunfermline were a little bit weaker and we took advantage. It would be nice to do the same [against Livingston] but a lot will come down to the opposition. They are one of the top six sides in Scotland so it will be a big test.

"We need to be smart, we need to move the ball quickly and with accuracy. If we can do that, we give ourselves a right chance.”

Betfred Cup finalists Livi are looking to embark on another run to Hampden after booking a top-six place in the Premiership.

Manager David Martindale said: "Anything can happen in cups and we need to be bang at it if we want to be in the draw for the next round.”
