Next Raith Rovers Manager Odds: Fox on the prowl
Raith are searching for a new coach after the shock sacking of Ian Murray
Raith Rovers are still looking for a new manager following Ian Murray’s departure, and the Starks Park board appears to be taking its time in naming a replacement.
Coaches Colin Cameron and John Potter guided Rovers to a 1-0 victory over Partick Thistle, but plenty of top-quality names are linked with the role.
Having reached the playoff final last season, Raith fans will be keen to see a positive managerial announcement in the hope that the Fife side can book their return to the top tier of Scottish football after a 27-year absence.

Leading Candidates to be the Next Raith Rovers Manager
Let’s look at some of the names towards the head of the betting market.
Darren O’Dea
O’Dea has been steadily building his coaching credentials within Celtic’s youth system, progressing from managing the under-18s to leading the B team.
Currently serving as the Professional Player Pathway Manager at Celtic Park, he has a solid grasp of Scottish youth football, and this background makes him a strong candidate for first-team management.
O’Dea has been closely linked to the managerial position at Starks Park and is currently the bookmakers favourite.
Liam Fox
Liam Fox is currently part of the coaching staff at Heart of Midlothian, taking charge of their B-team.
Having previously managed Dundee United, Fox is known for his tactical acumen and player development skills.
His deep understanding of the Scottish game and record at nurturing young talent make him an attractive proposition for Raith.
Scott Brown
Celtic legend Scott Brown is cutting his managerial teeth at fellow Championship side Ayr United after a short spell at Fleetwood.
Having taken the reins at Somerset Park only in January, some fans might see a swift move to Raith as premature.
Nevertheless, his playing experience and early steps into management make him an eyecatching potential candidate.
Peter Leven
Leven is a first-team coach at Aberdeen and did an impressive job in interim charge before Jimmy Thelin’s appointment.
He led Aberdeen to four wins in their last five Scottish Premiership matches, securing a solid finish in the bottom six.
Retained by Thelin, Leven is highly respected at Pittodrie but could be tempted to pursue a managerial role elsewhere.
