Few football clubs exude such enduring grit quite like Raith Rovers. Heralding from Kirkcaldy, Fife, this steadfast Scottish team first saw the light of day back in 1883, and have since cultivated their reputation on the pitch of their adored Stark's Park.
Comprised of a closely-knit squadron of 24, Raith Rovers are hardly the most sprightly of sides, boasting a median age of 27 years. Nevertheless, their stout hearts and keen minds belie their years, manifesting in a side that's notoriously difficult to overcome.
Thus far, the Rovers seem to be spreading their energies rather acutely, contending in four separate competitions over the course of this season. Their efforts have yielded varied results, displaying their endurance in the Championship where they reside in 6th place, while also gruelling through to the fifth round of the Scottish Cup.
Although their standing in the League Cup resided over Group H, perhaps their performance in the Challenge Cup showed the Rovers' resolve most of all, where they battled on until the end of the third round.
