SHOW RACISM THE RED CARD SCOTLAND

Saturday`s opponents, Morton were the only team to beat Dunfermline at home in their league championship winning season two years ago.  In fact the Greenock side have a knack of winning on at least one of their trips to West Fife in four of the last eight seasons in which the teams have met. Jim Jefferies side were happy to receive the favour delivered by Morton in beating Partick Thistle two weeks ago but now need to be careful that Allan Moore`s side do not get the joy of beating the league leaders in two fixtures running.

Dunfermline have won seven of the last twelve meetings with Morton but perhaps more significantly, seven of the last nine. The last time the teams met was on 30th April 2011, the memorable day at Cappielow when Jim McIntyre`s team won promotion to the SPL.  Two of the Pars team that day - Kevin Rutkiewicz and David Graham - could face up against their old club on Saturday and Martin Hardie is also on the books there so let`s hope the legend doesn`t return to haunt us.

Morton v Dunfermline

Morton sit two points and two places in the table behind Dunfermline so a win coupled with Partick slipping up to Airdrie United at Firhill could take them to the top of the table.  Jim Jefferies team feels that they played below their potential last time out at the Falkirk Stadium and they will be desperate to get back on their winning ways.
