Wallace still below Par

Dunfermline will again be missing the injured Ryan Wallace when they take on leaders Stranraer at East End Park.

Wallace remains on the sidelines due to a pelvic problem for the Pars, who are seven points behind the play-off pack.

Manager John Potter said: "We have to go out with the belief that we can win this game and still make the play-offs. Stranraer have a good record against us this season and their 5-1 win in our last meeting hurt everyone here.

"It would be nice to put that right by getting a win as if other results go in our favour we can still be involved in the promotion chase."

Stranraer head to Fife with a fully-fit squad and the Blues are aiming to complete a hat-trick of away wins over Dunfermline this season.

Manager Stephen Aitken said: "We knocked Dunfermline out of the Scottish Cup at their place and also won there in the league so it would be a terrific achievement to win there for a third time.

"More importantly, winning allows us to keep control of top spot in the table.

"The players have worked hard to take us there and hopefully another hard-working performance will help keep us there, however Dunfermline still have promotion hopes so it will be a tough afternoon."
