Dunfermline vs Greenock Morton preview - Triple boost for Jefferies
Posted Friday, October 24, 2014 by PA
Dunfermline have had a triple boost ahead of the home game against Morton as Stuart Urquhart, Allan Smith and Ryan Thomson all returning to the squad.
Ryan Wallace is the only player missing from manager Jim Jefferies plans due to a pelvic injury.
Jefferies said: "We are doing well defensively for such a young side and we will need to keep doing well as Morton have dangerous attackers.
"In the last game we switched off twice and were punished severely and we do not want that happening again.
"We did not play at our best against Forfar last weekend, but hopefully we can up our game for Morton."
The Greenock side welcome back defender Sean Crighton after a knee injury, but Michael Miller remains sidelined with a foot injury.
Brothers Jamie and Stefan McCluskey are doubtful with knocks while Jon Scullion is also set for a fitness test on Saturday.
Manager Jim Duffy said: "We beat Dunfermline earlier this season with what was a great performance.
"We will need that level again to win this one as Dunfermline are so strong at home that they have not let in a goal there yet.
"We lost to Ayr last weekend in a tight game where we missed a couple of chances. We need to be more ruthless in this one."
