Remarkably the Ayrshire side have conceded as many league goals as Dunfermline (43) but it is on the goalscoring front that they have done much better. They Pars are currently in the most barren period for goalscoring in the club`s league history; nine SPL matches back Stephen Simmons was the last to score a league goal in the 92nd minute of the 2-1 home defeat by Celtic on 10th December.
