Over & Out: New Signing Oscar McIntyre went straight into the starting XI with Ross Millen, Calum MacLeod and Paul Allan missing from the midweek massacre at East Kilbride. David Wotherspoon also started but Billy Mckay was on the bench.
Both sides failed to qualify for the knockout stages despite Rovers trouncing the Caley Jags 5-1 at Stark's Park. Three goals in the first half from Dylan Easton (x2 one pen) and Jack Hamilton killed the contest with Wotherspoon getting a consolation before Easton completed his hat-trick once more from the spot and our misery was complete when Remi Savage knocked in an own goal off his back in stoppage time. Meh!
Raith Rovers, with nothing to play for were quick out of the blocks and were two ahead inside seven minutes. Dylan Easton with a quickfire brace, opening the scoring in the fourth minute with a half volley from the edge of the box and three minutes later converting a penalty after Longstaff upended Paul McMullan in the box. Liam Sole did put the ball in the net but was flagged offside after seventeen minutes. Oscar MacIntyre, not known for his goalscoring endeavours, went close from a tight angle but narrowly missed the target. The visitors were seeing plenty of the ball with half an hour gone, but it was the hosts who held a two goal advantage. They increased that ten minutes before the interval when Jack Hamilton scored a third shortly after Scott Brown went close. A Wotherspoon corner was whipped in and clipped a post, but that was as close as we came before Hamilton then fired a free kick wide with five minutes of the half remaining.
HALF TIME: 3-0 (ouch!)
No changes at the interval but Wotherspoon pulled a goal back on the hour off a Mathew Strachan cross from the left but five minutes later Easton completed his hat-trick from the spot again after handball by Savage. His day would get worse in stoppage time when the ball bounced off him into the net after Munro had parried an effort, although Raith are claiming it for Josh Mullin . Plenty of substitutions around the hour took the edge off the game with Raith in cruise control despite Wotherspoon's morsel of consolation on a day when both clubs left the competition. A couple of late bookings for the Thompson Twins. It must run in the family...
It would appear Remi Savage was red carded at the end of the game for kicking the ball aggressively in the direction of the referee. However, similar to the ninety minutes, he missed! Not much he could have done about the penalty to be honest, but this will possibly mean he will miss the start of the league campaign against Kelty if it's seen as violent conduct. Otherwise it will mean he misses next League Cup game.
FULL TIME: 5-1 (sore one)
