ROVERS goalkeeper David Raya is fighting fit to feature against Liverpool on Thursday.
The stopper came through 30 minutes of the pre-season draw at Port Vale last weekend, his first match action of the summer.
The Spaniard missed the trip to Hibs with a knock but says he is back to full fitness and is relishing the chance to test himself against Jurgen Klopp's Premier League superstars.
"It has been a few weeks since I got back and I had a knock carried over from last season. It wasn’t right so I took a rest last week and it feels great to have a few minutes," the 22-year-old said.
"There was not much to do, playing the last 30 minutes as a goalkeeper is not always what you want but to get back in with the team and get some minutes is perfect for me. I just got through it.
"The aim was to get back for Thursday. It is a good opportunity for the team to show what we are capable of and to set our standards and hopefully we can get a result."
