Last Meeting at East End Park
Saturday 26th January 2013, First Division
Dunfermline 0 Livingston 1


This was a point in time when the club was in crisis and this was the second match in what was to be a disastrous fourteen match run with only one win. A work party of around 30 fans had responded to the Club`s early morning plea to turn out to help clear snow from the areas surrounding the stadium, and the pitch was looking great despite the depths of winter.

All the hard work was unfortunately not rewarded as the Pars slumped to a home defeat. What turned out to be the winner was scored in 21st minute. Mark McNulty took the ball to the right byeline before cutting back for Tony ANDREU to slot past Gallacher at his near post. 0-1
