Last Twelve League matches

The last twelve league games have seen Dunfermline win six, draw three and lose three. Two of those defeats were at Maryhill on SPL business but the most recent Jags success came in the opening day of this league season when a late strike from Stephen McKeown was a jolt to the optimism that had been cultivating in pre season. The Pars came out winners last time with Rory Loy netting from the spot after Steven Bell had been scythed down in front of goal.
