Match Preview

Trio missing for the Pars Table-topping Dunfermline will be without goalkeeper Greg Paterson, defender Jack Ross and midfielder Steven Bell for the game against Dundee. Winger Willie Gibson, who has been missing with a virus recently, may be well enough to return against the Dens Park side. Pars boss Jim McIntyre, whose side are looking for their first win of 2011, is expecting a cracking game. He said: "Dundee have been flying in the league and they will bring a big crowd to East End Park looking for another three points, so it should be a great contest." McIntyre added: "We are unbeaten at home and are top of the league and I want us to have preserved both of those records once this game is over." Dundee will be without striker Leigh Griffiths as he is suspended following his sending off against Motherwell in the Scottish Cup last Sunday. However, Dens Park boss Barry Smith can call on attacking midfielder Nicky Reilly, who has been passed fit following a back injury. Smith is looking forward to meeting the Pars, saying: "We showed great resilience in our last encounter against Dunfermline when we came back from two goals down to get a point. "We will need to show that resilience again as they will no doubt be trying to attack us from the beginning of the game. "It is a game I am looking forward to being involved in as I will be able to judge how far we have come on over the past couple of months."

Match Report

Ten-man Dundee battle for point Bottom-of-the-table Dundee battled to a goalless draw at Dunfermline despite playing with 10-men for most of the second half. Dundee, whose appeal against a 25-point penalty for going into administration was rejected on Friday, were reduced to 10 men after 47 minutes when Sean Higgins received a second yellow card for a foul on Alex Keddie. The visitors also had a further four players booked in a fiery 20-minute spell in the second half. Despite being a man lighter, Dundee created the better of the chances and could have won the game when Nicholas Riley's curling 20-yard shot was parried by Chris Smith. Dunfermline had a late chance through Calum Woods but his left-foot volley went wide of Craig McKeown's goal.
