The Morton support will be seated in the McDermid Stand and there will be two turnstiles open for away fans. Wheelchair users can enter via a door at the McDermid Stand.

Smoking, which includes E-cigarettes, is not permitted within Stark’s Park and there is zero tolerance as regards unacceptable conduct.

Raith Rovers have a flag and banner policy: flags must be on a cane less than 3ft in length, and banners must have a valid fire approval certificate. They will be inspected prior to admission and displayed only under the direction of stewards.

Like all Scottish grounds, Raith Rovers have a searching policy as a condition of entry and searching will be strict following an incident involving pyrotechnics at the last match between the clubs.

Possessing or using any pyro device is an offence and anyone detected will be arrested and detained in custody for court on Tuesday.

Travel

Travel by Road: For those using sat nav, the postcode is: KY1 1SA. Follow the M8 to M80 then signs for A985 Kincardine Bridge. Follow the A985 to Admiralty then the A921. Take the B9157 when signposted and Stark’s Park is on this route.

An alternative route is take the M8 to Edinburgh, cross the Forth Bridge to Inverkeithing then follow the A921 and then the directions above.

Please note this will involve travelling through M8/M73 improvement works and delays can be expected, especially during the evening rush.

Travel by Rail: There are several changes and this makes rail travel very difficult. See the Scotrail website for times and travel details.

Parking

Parking for coaches and cars is available at the Beveridge Park car park.
