Gibson back for key clash
Posted Sunday, December 26, 2010 by PA
Table-topping Dunfermline welcome back winger Willie Gibson following suspension as they look to open up an 11-point gap on Falkirk with a win at East End Park.
The injured quartet of Greg Paterson, Jack Ross, Alex Burke and Steven Bell remain out with Pars manager Jim McIntyre out to make sure his men are prepared for the clash.
McIntyre said: "Not only are we facing a side that will be out to win to get right back into things at the top of the table; Falkirk will be out to make up for us winning at their place on the opening day of the season.
"A win would be great extra Christmas present for us."
Falkirk are hoping have Jack Compton, who has been out for two months, back in the ranks.
However, striker Tam McManus remains out for the Bairns despite returning to training after a knee knock.
The Bairns have been idle since November 13 and manager Steven Pressley knows that his men need to return to form quickly.
Pressley said: "We need to start where we finished against Stirling Albion when we won 5-0 in our last game.
"We have kept the boys ticking over with bounce games but this will be the real thing and we need to be ready.
"There will be a big Falkirk following through and a win for them would be great."
