Recent respective form guides

Dunfermline Athletic's disastrous home run has meant they have managed only 2 draws from the last six matches. While Pars have scored 7, a worringly large 16 have been leaked at the other end.

Rangers's away form is none too clever either, winning and losing 3 each of the last six games. The games have constituted a decent return of 9 goals for the Gers, and 5 goals against.

Dunfermline Athletic find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 25 games have yielded only 18 points.

Rangers's total of 58 points from their 25 games sees them sitting in the playoff places in Clydesdale Bank Scottish Premier.
