Raith Rovers right-back Ross Millen has spoken about the tough times he faced being away from his family.
What happened?
Millen's recent transfers to Morecambe and Inverness were particularly challenging, with his wife Sarah and son Jude staying in Glasgow. He told the Fife Free Press: "It's tough, I'm not going to lie."
Why it matters for Raith Rovers
Millen's experiences highlight the difficulties footballers face in balancing their personal and professional lives, with the team currently focusing on their next fixture vs Arbroath at home on 2027-01-02. The player is now relishing being back with his family in Kirkcaldy, with a 45-minute commute to training and matches.
What comes next?
With Raith Rovers standing 4th in Championship, 4 pts, 1W-1D-0L from 2 games, and 2 points behind leaders Partick, Millen's return to the team is a welcome boost, as they look to close the gap in the title race.
