DUNFERMLINE 0 DUNDEE 1

For PJ Crossan it was back to basics after coming on as a late sub on Saturday and putting in the cross for Faissal El Bakhtaoui to score Dunfermline's third goal against Brechin City. The goal was a great relief and PJ was able to celebrate winning the League One title when announcer, Alan Peacock confirmed Cowdenbeath's win at Peterhead.
