Min 0: Heart of Midlothian opens up with a 4-3-3 N while the Rovers will play a 4-2-4 E.
Min 0: Today's referee is Ricky Hawthorn (HOMER/STRICT).
Min 3: Now the ball comes to John Robertson (HEA)...
        ...Graeme Souness has space on the left and John Robertson tries to play him in...
        ...only for James Claridge (RR) to stick out a boot and just intercept.
Min 3: James Claridge (RR) swings a ball in to the Heart of Midlothian box...
        ...but the presence of Craig Levein (HEA) means it is easily cleared.
Min 4: Kwadwo Baah (RR) heads toward the goal...
        ...but instead of chancing his luck from a tight angle he plays it back to James Claridge...
        ...who manages to knock it towards the top corner...
        ...but it flies just inches over the bar!
Min 6: Cheeky back heel from Dylan Levitt to release Malcolm Poskett in the box...
        ...but the American is flagged to have been off-side.  Calls for VAR in SESL? 
Min 23: One pass too many from Heart of Midlothian and Raith Rovers soon get a cross in...
        ...Tommy Smith (RR) gets his head to it...
        ...but it drifts left of the post.
Min 24: John Robertson (HEA) surges forward with a weaving run...
        ...but Jordan Stewart (RR) brings it to an end with a well-timed tackle on the edge of the box.
Min 24: Tommy Smith (RR) bends his shot towards the goal...
        ...but Alan Rough just gets a touch on it...
        ...excellent save! 
Min 25: Les Taylor (RR) collects the ball from Nestory Irankunda on the corner of the penalty area...
        ...shrugs off a challenge...
        ...and fires in a bending shot that hits the bar and caroms out of danger.
Min 28: Malcolm Poskett (RR) looking a couple of yards offside...
        ...picks it up just outside the box and calmy scores.  GOAL!...
        ...a superb play and the early lead for the Rovers...
        ...score now: HEA 0 - RR 1
Min 34: Les Taylor (RR) looks up and spots Kwadwo Baah arriving in the box...
        ...the Englishman tees up Kwadwo Baah for the shot...
        ...he finds the back of the net with a low drive. GOAL!!!...
        ...Raith Rovers are looking strong now...
        ...score now: HEA 0 - RR 2
Min 37: Malcolm Poskett volleys a powerful shot from the right...
        ...Alan Rough gets a touch but can't stop it...
        ...and the ball nestles in the back of the net. GOAL!!!...
        ...yet another one for Raith Rovers; Coach Dave Smyth is furious...
        ...score now: HEA 0 - RR 3
Min 42: Lando Norris (HEA) whips in a decent looking cross to the six yard box...
        ...but Sean Dyche (RR) is there to clear with his head.
Min 45: Graeme Souness (HEA) breaks away and charges into the penalty area...
        ...a little shuffle of the feet...
        ...and his shot is parried away by Andy Goram--superb save!
Min 45: Mamadou Doumbia on for Tommy Smith(FW)...
        ...Mamadou Doumbia will play FW.
Min 45: Edo Kayembe on for Dylan Levitt(MF)...
        ...Edo Kayembe will play MF.

Min 50: Lando Norris (HEA) is on the left and looks to cross...
        ...the ball floats over Andy Goram...
        ...and just over the woodwork for a goal kick.
Min 56: Les Taylor (RR) now gets a chance to cross...
        ...he looks for Mamadou Doumbia but it evades him...
        ...Alan Rough missed it too but luckily for Heart of Midlothian it drifts wide.
Min 60: Marc Bola on for Jordan Stewart(DF)...
        ...Marc Bola will play DF.
Min 65: Edo Kayembe's (RR) goal-bound effort is blocked brilliantly by Campbell Barclay (HEA)...
        ...and it loops up and into the hands of Alan Rough.
Min 84: Nestory Irankunda weaves his way through the Heart of Midlothian defense......
        ...he checks the keeper's position...
        ...he'll take a chance on his own and ignore assistance from his flank......
        ...and the shot screams past the outstretched arms of Alan Rough.?GOAL!!...
        ...Dave Smyth suggests to Alan Rough that he might want to dust off his resume...
        ...score now: HEA 0 - RR 4
Min 90: With Raith Rovers so far forward a rare Heart of Midlothian break sees Alex Rae play a long diagonal pass for John Robertson...
        ...he has acres of space but has wandered off-side. 
Min 90: A superb strike from Malcolm Poskett (RR)...
        ...who smashes one with power from 20 yards out...
        ...and into the bottom left-hand corner GOAL!...
        ...yet another one for Raith Rovers; they are really pouring it on...
        ...score now: HEA 0 - RR 5
