National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Raith Rovers or Stirling Albion that keep their silverware dream alive.

There have been limited time to rest for the team playing at home, as they were involved in a League Cup fixture only three days back. Thankfully the previous game, versus Peterhead, was also a home game here at Stark's Park. The away team is better rested.
