Keeping an eye on our 2 strikers out on loan to East Fife and Raith.
Jack Hamilton scored another goal for EF today, couple of leagues below us but good to see him scoring goals and getting regular games, all bodes well for sharpening him up and hopefully seeing him back playing for his parent club soon.
Big Lars got the full 90 mins for Raith in their 5-0 demolition of Morton, he didn't score but pleasing to see he is doing well enough to get a full game. It all helps getting him used to Scottish football and getting his match fitness up, hopefully the goals will come for him too. Picked this from a piece a Raith fan did about Lars.

A better look at Loko: While he didn't get on the scoresheet there's a lot of positives for Lars Lokotsch
The visit to Dundee last week saw the introduction of loanee Lars Lokotsch from Livingston. The Germany striker had a quiet game where he was often restricted as he roamed as a loan striker. Today allowed for the Rovers fans to get a better look at Loko and while he didn't get on the scoresheet there was still a lot to be happy with.
Physically, the forward's imposing presence is similar to Duku. He can act as a target man and win knock downs for the likes of Tait, Armstrong and Ross who can operate in the space he creates. Today saw numerous occasions where he'd pull defenders out from the back line and attempt to win the back closer to the half way line. Defensively, he wasn't a player who looked to shy away from his duties.
With Duku, Vaughan and Ugwu all still on the sidelines, Lokotsch has offered an immediate and effective fix which hasn't disrupted the Rovers form. His link up play has allowed those around him to prosper and he looks unselfish in an attempt to help the team. Even if he's not scoring goals, there's no worry among the support about this given the team's ability to seemingly chip in goals across the pitch.
