It's a regularly scheduled Tuesday-nighter. Morton visit Raith Rovers at San Starko. Raith are 2nd with 50 points. Morton are 4th with 36 points. Raith won both previous meetings and are the only remaining side that can sweep Morton this season. This evening's match is an opportunity for Raith to move into first place, or for Morton to take over third.
Morton have played 24 league matches or two thirds of the season. If they keep up this pace they will finish the season with 54 points. But they only earned 8 points in the first twelve games, and 28 in the second twelve. If they play as well in the final twelve as they did in the middle twelve then they'll finish with 64 points.
Last year they finished with 57.
Morton are 15 games without a loss, league and cup, which equals their run of 1979. Both runs were made up of 11 wins and 4 draws.
But Rangers went 17 games without a loss from October to December, and Falkirk put together a 26-game undefeated streak from July to January.

About Kirkcaldy United:
From the turn of the 20th Century until World War One, Kirkcaldy United was Raith Rovers' crosstown rival. The United played at Scott's Park which could accommodate 12,000 spectators. Their kit was a black and white striped jersey, white shorts, black socks. They were never in the Scottish League and did not play Raith Rovers in the Scottish Cup, but the two did meet up in Fifeshire competitions.
