Steven McDougall is congratulated for his first Dunfermline goal

Steven McDougall scrambled in Dunfermline's opening goal against Thistle on Saturday. Afterwards he gave his thoughts:-

"Your first goal is always good. I was a wee bit surprised to get a start but with Andy (Kirk) being away it gives someone else an opportunity. I am delighted to get a goal and equally delighted to get the three points.

"We can only win each game as it comes and hopefully at the end of the season we will be up there. In the last few games we have been on a good unbeaten run, if we can keep that going who knows where that can take us."

The 24 year old admitted that he felt that he should have done a lot better since he joined the Pars in the summer from Airdrie United.

"I would have liked to have played a lot more games but it has not worked out that way so far. Hopefully I did enough against Partick to stay in the team for next week."

Steven McDougall scores Dunfermline v Partick Thistle

Scoring a goal should always attract the manager's attention but Steven played that down:-

"A goal from two yards but I'll take it!"

For the player who had only found the net four times in his 135 Airdrie appearances it has been a change for him to switch from winger to striker:-

"This is my first season playing up front because I was always a winger at Airdrie. It a new position but I am getting used to it.

"We tried it in training and it worked. There is a lack of strikers at the club and it gives him another option if I can play up there. I enjoy it and just learn off the guys who are here - Graham Bayne, Andy Kirk and obviously the gaffer is a striker as well. You can't really not learn, they tell me what to do and I listen.

"I wouldn't say that I expect to break up the partnership of Bayne and Kirk but with Andy away on international duty it gives me an opportunity to show what I can do. Andy will be back next week so we shall see how it goes."
