Ricky's report of the Dunfermline game is now available.


Terry Butcher's post-match comments were as follows:
"It wasn't the best of games but I'm delighted to get the three points because we lost two points in the last minute last week. We've gained two points in the last minute this week, so we are feeling different now. If it had finished 0-0, we would have been feeling really sick because, when it's 11 against 10, you expect to win the game. But Dunfermline worked very hard and, in the end, they probably felt they would get a point but a little bit of luck went our way. It was a scrappy goal we got which summed up the game, although it was never going to reach the heights of last week. But we said before the game that, even if it was the worst match in the world, and it possibly was, then we'll just be delighted to get the win."


Today's Daily Express reports the following:

  • Former Kilmarnock and Livingston goalkeeper Colin Meldrum will sign a short term deal this week as back-up to Graeme Smith

  • Gordon Marshall requires an operation on his arm and will be out for around six weeks

  • Scott Leitch and Kevin McBride are both out until December, while Martyn Corrigan will undergo a scan next Tuesday to determine if he requires an operation on his injured knee

  • TB will not be following up his interest in Nicky Summerbee, as the former Sunderland and Manchester City winger is some way short of match fitness
