Dunfermline Athletic

Preview Morton

Wednesday, 19th Nov 2008

The Pars were held to a draw at Cappielow in September when a late Ross Campbell goal levelled the scoring after Brian Wake had put the home side ahead.

The Pars are just three points behind St Johnstone and with the Perth men swapping their free Saturday so that they can have the only match in Dundee next weekend there is the opportunity for the Pars to top the table for the first time since they returned to the First Division.

The Pars certainly fair better historically and they did win the last time the Greenock side came to East End Park.   The best performance came in February 1965 when two goals each from Jackie Sinclair and Alex Ferguson, and one each from John McLauchlin and Bert Paton set the record league win over Morton at East End Park.

At their seventh attempt Morton won their first away match of the season last Saturday at Dumfries.  While we might have celebrated that at the time this fires caution since that is three wins for the ninth placed team in their last four league games.
