Of course Arbroath can [get back in the match], but they have to try and get higher up the pitch.
Arbroath can then start having shots from distance and getting balls into the box.
They have to go for it, push bodies forward and get themselves back into the game.

Weather update at Gayfield.
It's really wet and really windy.
Shock.

There's not been much to shout about for the home side apart from some half chances from Kyle Robinson.
If they can get balls in the box and some cut backs, maybe they've got a chance.

There's some chanting for Bobby Linn, who is on BBC duty tonight, from the loving home support.
How lovely.
Let's hear his thoughts on Arbroath's first half showing.

Arbroath 0-1 Raith Rovers
Not a lot has happened in the minutes following the goal. Maybe everyone is still just utterly stunned by that beauty of a finish.
Either way, Rovers are now top of the table as it stands.
But it's not looking so good for Arbroath...

Billy Dodds

That is sublime.
Something out of absolutely nothing.
That is a brilliant finish. He hits it so early that the goalkeeper can't see it until it's too late.
Zak Rudden
That is delightful.
The loanee forward beats Derek Gaston with a terrific, low outside-of-the-boot effort from 20 yards out.
Who fancied him scoring a trivela tonight, then?

Enforced change after the chaos in the Arbroath mixer.
Keith Watson heads off the park, with Scott Brown on in his place.
Arbroath 0-0 Raith Rovers
How are Arbroath still level!
Kyle Turner whips in a terrific cross from a quick free-kick which bamboozles the entire Arbroath defence. His delivery evades everyone and smacks off the post.
The danger isn't dealt with, however, after Ricky Little fails to head clear.
This calls Derek Gaston into action as the 'keeper is forced into a sublime save at close range by Zak Rudden's subsequent header.
