Dunfermline Athletic

Preview Rangers

Thursday, 10th Aug 2006

The last dozen meetings between the two teams have seen ten Dunfermline defeats, one win and one draw. Seven of those defeats have seen the Pars concede three or more goals.

Ticket Information

The last meeting between these teams at East End Park served up a six goal thriller.  Twice ahead, the Pars were reduced to ten men when conceding a penalty that got the Ibrox club back on level terms and then trailing by a single goal the Pars were awarded a penalty deep into added time by referee Craig Thomson.  Darren Young stuck the penalty away and the Boxing Day fixture was full of Christmas cheer for Dunfermline fans.  Unfortunately points have been hard to win off Rangers as visitors. One win and five draws from the twenty five Premier meetings in Fife is not a great record.

Rangers Home Milestones

As most Pars fans know, the goals in the famous two-nil win in 2003 that brought an end to the 33 year run without a league victory at East End Park over Rangers were scored by Stevie Crawford, and a certain Paulo Vanoli. No Pars fan wants to wait as long for the next win!

With no points from the first two SPL matches of the season a point or three off Rangers would be a great way to break the duck but Rangers smarting from being held to a draw at home to Dundee United last Saturday will be focussed on bagging the three points.

Lionel Letizi; Alan Hutton, Julien Rodriguez, Karl Svensson (Chris Burke 57), Steven Smith, Brahim Hemdani, Jeremy Clement, Libor Sionko, Thomas Buffel, Charlie Adam (Kris Boyd 45), Dado Prso (Filip Sebo 70)
Subs not used: Allan McGregor, Rae, Jose Pierre-Fanfan, Antoine Ponroy

Only three players who played at Ibrox against the Arabs played on Boxing Day against the Pars.  Yes this will be Rangers Football Club, but do they know they are supposed to win?

Dunfermline`s injury list continues to grow but at least Greg Ross and Scott Morrison returned to Reserve League action in midweek.  Whoever takes the field for Dunfermline on Sunday nothing less than 100% commitment can be expected and Leishman will be out to create another upset to keep his after dinner stories fresh.

Remember its a 2.00pm kick off and the game is all ticket.

Come on ye Pars!
