The contest for the coveted prize is heating up with several players still in the running for a victory, and it could be all change again after this week’s ratings

*** Craig Sibbald: Winger’s bursts into the Raith box should really have brought a goal, but while other players edged around the icy pitch, the 20-year-old seemed to glide acrosss the slippery surface and looked sharp, particularly in the first half.

** Aaron Muirhead: Delivery from the makeshift right-back was excellent and he seems to become ever-more dependable by the week despite playing out of position at right-back.

* Blair Alston: A classy finish handed another goal to the in-form Bairn and once he was withdrawn, the Bairns looked a shadow of themselves after a blistering first half. Alston’s link-up in passing moves with the likes of Muirhead, Will Vaulks and Mark Kerr before the break had Raith on the back foot.

STARSHOT: 21 P.Grant, Sibbald, Baird; 19 Vaulks, Kerr; 13 Rogers; 10 Miller, Alston, Muirhead; 8 McHugh; 6 Taiwo; 5 Watson; 4 Smith, Leahy; 3 McCracken; 2 O’Hara, 1 McGrandles.
