Morton v Dunfermline 15.08.09

Dunfermline meet Morton on Saturday with three points uppermost in their minds. After good performances to take draws away from Dingwall and Inverness, home form comes back into consideration.  Last home match after a ropey first 45 Jim McIntyre`s side turned it on to race into a three goal lead before the visitors scored  a consolation from the penalty spot.

Dunfermline v Morton

Morton are only one place behind the Pars and will be well aware that a win would see them leapfrog their opponents.  A win for the Pars is essential if those above are not to stretch the gap.  The league leaders, Ross County are currently nine points ahead of Dunfermline.
