MATCH 1906 - Tuesday 24 January 2023

SEASON 2022/23

SCOTTISH CUP 4th Round

Venue: PRESTONFIELD

LINLITHGOW ROSE  0  RAITH ROVERS  2

Scorers:  Gullan(2)

A day after the biggest Scottish Cup upset (Darvel beating Aberdeen) I went through to Linlithgow to visit a new ground however Raith Rovers show no signs of panic and comfortably advance to the next round of the cup.

Prestonfield is a tidy little ground and there are 2,000 fans in attendance.  The match will be best remembered for the worse collective officiating since the 2015 Scottish Cup semi final.  The ref and his standside linesman missed two penalties and wrongly called a goal from Raith at the start of the second half as offside when the home sides centre half clearly played the ball straight into the path of the Raith striker.

Venue: CELTIC PARK

CELTIC  4  RAITH ROVERS  0

Scorers: Scales, Giakoumakis, Maeda, Bitton

For the second time this season Raith visit Celtic Park on cup duty.  A rather non-eventful game is best remembered for a smashing first goal from young Irish full back, Liam Scales.

SCOTTICH LEAGUE CUP Quarter Final

Venue:  CELTIC PARK

CELTIC  3  RAITH ROVERS  0

Scorers: Jota, Abada, Turnbull

Celtic's challenges continue in the Scottish League Cup but they are more than a match for their lower league rivals.  This is a famous fixture in the competition for all the wrong reasons as far as Celtic are concerned but like on all other occasions since the 1994 final Celtic are too strong for their Kirkcaldy opponents.
