| Comments | Match Report Report from the BBC. Raith Rovers 1 Ross County 2 Two identical goals inside two minutes from Alex Keddie earned Ross County a Challenge Cup win at Stark's Park. The big defender rose unchallenged at the back post to head home a corner on 52 minutes and did the same soon after. Raith Rovers hit back when Graham Weir blazed in a fine strike from the edge of the penalty area on 74 minutes. The home side struck the woodwork as they piled on the pressure but could not find a way through as County stood firm against the Fifers. |
