Championship Play-Off Semi Final First Leg
Queen’s Park 0 Dunfermline 0
Dunfermline had finished ninth in the Championship and so faced a Queen’s Park side that had finished fourth in League One. This play-off was played at Queen’s Park’s temporary home, Firhill, but with precious few shots from either side, there were no goals.
The tie was set up nicely for the return in Fife but alas that did not go well and Dunfermline were relegated as a consequence of Simon Murray’s 89th minute goal.
