Preview Morton
Thursday, 25th Sep 2008Dunfermline have won only four of the last twelve meetings. There have been three draws and five Morton wins.
Dunfermline travel to Greenock on Saturday to face a Morton team under the stewardship of former Par Davie Irons. They took Inverness Caley Thistle to extra time on Tuesday night so their lowly league position possibly masks the fact that they are a side that can cause opponents difficulties.
