Pars return for Crawford

Dunfermline Athletic boss Jim Leishman has further strengthened his strikeforce by re-signing Stevie Crawford from Aberdeen.
The 32-year-old has put pen to paper on a two-year contract at East End Park where he is likely to play alongside Jim Hamilton, who joined the Pars from Motherwell earlier in the week.
Leishman told the club's official website: "Getting Stevie back into the team is a great plus for us and now, with the squad we have, I'm much happier to be judged on what we achieve."
Crawford first played for Dunfermline during a loan spell from Hibernian in the 1999-2000 campaign, when he netted 16 times in 25 games.
He joined the club on a permanent basis the next season and went on to score 47 League goals over the following four years, before joining Plymouth Argyle in 2004.
The Scotland international left the Pilgrims for Dundee United in January 2005 and then moved on to Aberdeen six months later, but struggled to make an impact at all three clubs.
