Last Twelve League matches

The last dozen league games have seen Dunfermline win six, draw four and lose two. The two defeats were the last two visits to Maryhill on SPL business.  Having been knocked out of the Scottish Cup by Thistle at the end of January, Dunfermline will be seeking some revenge.
