Match Preview

Morton missing strike duo Morton manager Allan Moore has ruled out strikers Kevin Kelbie and Sean Fitzharris for the visit of Dunfermline. Moore is determined that his men pick up the win that will deny the Pars the First Division title. He said: "No doubt Dunfermline will bring a huge support with them and be looking to make it a Gala Day but I want Morton to finish fourth in the table so we need the points as well. "Our poor result against Partick Thistle last week has made us all the more determined to win. "We have a good record against Dunfermline and have beaten them home and away this season so we have nothing to be apprehensive about." Dunfermline welcome back on-loan St Johnstone defender Kevin Rutkiewicz from suspension for the trip to Morton, where victory would hand Jim McIntyre's side the title. Last weekend's two-goal hero against Raith Rovers Martin Hardie is expected to shake off an ankle knock to play, although the Pars will again be without the injured Steven Bell. Jake Hyde is also an injury doubt but McIntyre said: "We are on a great run and the players have been magnificent. "It would be great to get the job done at the first time of asking down at Morton. "They have beaten us twice already this season and that is warning enough that we need to be at our best."

Match Report

Pars win to seal promotion Steven McDougall and David Graham were on target as Dunfermline beat Morton 2-0 to be crowned Scottish Division One champions. McDougall opened the scoring in the first half and Graham sealed the points to ensure Dunfermline will return to the top flight next season. Joe Cardle tested Colin Stewart with a 20-yard strike in the third minute before McDougall opened the scoring four minutes later from close range. Andy Kirk almost doubled the visitors' advantage but he headed wide from six yards before Stewart had to tip a McDougall's cross around the post. Graham added a second five minutes after the interval when he found the bottom corner from 20 yards. Morton searched for a way back into the game and almost pulled a goal back but Chris Smith managed to parry Allan Jenkins` lob to safety.
