SPL Fanzone: Dunfermline

The Dunfermline obituaries which followed our psychologically damaging defeat to Hibernian and financially damaging cup exit to Inverness now look somewhat premature.

The performance against Hibs was the best in months in terms of formation and there was a feeling that, if the players kept working hard, results would come. So it has proved, with the stunning win at Kilmarnock, where we hadn’t won in 20 years!

Kevin Rutkiewicz and Martin Hardie both spoke in glowing terms last midweek of Jim McIntyre when many supporters thought the only news emanating from East End would be of his departure. To his credit, Jim has never dwelt on the savage injury list which has crippled his season. Now, with Iain Turner, Mark Kerr and Rusty in the ranks, we must push on with new confidence.
