Championship, Saturday 9th March 2019


Another 1-0 win, the fourth in their last five games kept the Pars in fourth place. Alloa dropped to the foot of the table after Partick Thistle scored a late winner against Dundee United. Unfortunately it was to be Dunfermline’s last win of the 2018/19 season.

After no goals in the first half the Fifers appeared to resume the more industrious and it took Devine intervention to create what turned out to be the 53rd minute winner. Further up the field than expected the centre back picked out Joe Thomson on the right and his cross was stuck away superbly into the bottom right by Bruce ANDERSON, 0-1
