Dunfermline V Ayr - view commentary, squad, and statistics of the game live.Pars boast fully-fit squadDunfermline full-back Alex Whittle has recovered from a training ground knock to give manager Jim Jefferies a full squad to choose from as the Pars host Ayr.Jefferies said: "Ayr are a good side, particularly in attack, and they are one of the teams I believe will be involved in the race for promotion. Therefore we need to be on the top of our game to win."We showed great spirit again last week to grab a late winner against Airdrie."Whilst that is a terrific attribute to have, we should really be killing games off and not relying on late goals to secure us three points."Martyn Campbell (calf) is Ayr player-manager Mark Roberts' only absentee as his side head to East End Park with Gordon Pope and Alan Forrest both available after completing two-game bans.Former Scotland striker Kevin Kyle is expected to be named on the bench for the third week running.Roberts said: "We have a real incentive to win this game as if we do and Rangers see off Stenhousemuir, we will be hosting a top-of-the-table clash next weekend at our place."Dunfermline have a great incentive to win the game as well as it would keep them in second place and open up a gap on ourselves."
