Morton face a trip to Dunfermline Athletic at East End Park on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The The 'Ton will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 21 and win only 8 of the 37 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in May 2009, the Pars carving out a narrow 2 - 1 victory in a Scottish Division One match.
