Morton were the last team to defeat Dunfermline with a 2-1 scoreline on Saturday 20th September.
It is another big game this Saturday when Dunfermline take on Jim Duffy's Morton, the only other full time team in the league. Morton defeated Dunfermline comfortably at Cappielow only five weeks ago and so hopefully it will be revenge time at East End Park.
