Pars keen on Levein

Dunfermline have confirmed that Craig Levein is one of the leading contenders to replace Jim Leishman who has moved upstairs at East End Park.
Leishman has stepped aside to return to his position as director of football and the former Hearts and Leicester City manager currently employed on a non-contract basis by second division Raith Rovers is favourite to take up the reins.
"Craig Levein is one of the considerations," said Pars chairman John Yorkston.
"Jim Leishman is now starting to speak to people with regard to his replacement in his capacity as director of football and will start making up a shortlist.
"I don't think things will start moving until I return next week because our assistant manager Craig Robertson has been told he will take charge of the team at Hearts on Saturday.
"The length of the shortlist will depend on the quality. I think it will be narrowed down to three."
