Last Time Out
DUNFERMLINE: (v Airdrie) Sean Murdoch; Iain Williamson (John McCulloch 83), Calum Woods, Aaron Labonte, Scott Muirhead (Darren Young 7); Bobby Ryan, Stephen Simmons, Stephen Glass (c), Owen Morrison; Tam McManus, Mark Burchill
SUBS: Paul Gallacher (GK), Stevie Crawford, Paul Willis.
CLYDE: (v QOS) David Hutton; Neil McGregor, Bestvina, Chris Higgins, Dan Kirkup, Christian Smith, Steven Masterton, Michael McGowan (Kevin Bradley 67), Ruari MacLennan, David McGowan, Dougie Imrie
SUBS NOT USED: Marvyn Wilson, Sean McKenna, Gary Arbuckle, Peter Cherrie
The Pars are not well off when it comes to selection. Calum Woods will serve a one match suspension on Saturday because of the red card he was shown near the end of Tuesday night`s match against Airdrie United. The injury list is still long - Roddy McKenzie, Greg Shields, Scott Wilson, Scott Muirhead, Greg Ross, Scott Thomson, Scott Morrison and Jim McIntyre. Souleymane Bamba and Stevie Crawford were rested at the Excelsior so at least they will return to the fold.
Referee will be Dougie McDonald; only his second Division One game of the season and of course we remember the first one at Hamilton on the opening day of the season. That day he red carded Phil McGuire.
Come on ye Pars!
