The crowd at East End Park for a Dunfermline versus Celtic match. Source.
Dunfermline Athletic host Greenock Morton. The Pars are sixth in the division with 8 points. Morton are eighth (ninth after last night) with 4 points.
Since 1994 Dunfermline have played eleven seasons in tier I, fifteen in tier II and four in tier III. Like Morton their most recent sojourn in tier III lasted only one year.
The Pars swept Morton in the 2009-10 season. Morton swept Dunfermline in 2014-15.
Robbie Muirhead played for the Pars in 2018-19. Nobody on the Dunfermline squad has played for Morton.
Muirhead has scored four of Morton's seven league goals. He also has the most recent Morton goal against nine SPFL clubs: Dundee United, Partick Thistle, Cove Rangers, Dundee, Motherwell, Clyde, Airdrieonians, East Fife and Annan.
The last Morton player to score on Dunfermline was Iain Wilson on March 18th, 2022. He's now with Queen of the South.
You can call Dunfermline Athletic Dumfermline and everyone will know who you mean but there actually was a club called Dunfermline FC from 1874 to 1891. They wore blue and white hoops like Morton, and their claim to fame rests on having won the first two editions of the Fife Cup, in 1882-83 and 1883-84.
