Favourites For Promotion To SPL Meet

11 September 2010 11:22
Dunfermline meet Dundee today and both managers are having to cope with missing personnel. The Pars will be without David Graham and Paul Willis for the game with knocks for the showdown between two of the title favourites. Dunfermline assistant manager Gerry McCabe said: "There will be a big atmosphere at the game and that is great as those are the games you want to be involved in, but we have to make sure that everyone is up for it come kick-off time. A good few people will look at this game and think it is between two sides that will be battling it out for the title and I would like to think they are right.'' Dundee manager Gordon Chisholm is even worse off and has up to seven players missing. 'Keeper Rab Douglas is suspended, defender Dominic Shimmin, midfielder Charlie Grant and striker Mickael Antoine-Curier are all out through injury and David Witteveen, Eric Paton and Leigh Griffiths face late fitness checks. However, Craig Forsyth is available after returning froma ban and new signing Njazi Kuqi is in line for his debut. Speaking yesterday, Chisholm said: "I will not know my team until Saturday lunchtime but with the additions I have made to the squad recently we are in a much better place to cope with injuries. Everything has fallen into place numbers wise and we need to build on a fine result and performance against Falkirk a fortnight ago.''
