Alloa Athletic 1-0 Dunfermline Athletic: Relegated hosts stun promotion-chasing Fifers
- Published
Relegated Alloa recorded only their fifth Scottish Championship win to shock Dunfermline in their final match of a dismal campaign.
Liam Dick's goal made the difference in Clackmannanshire, bringing down the curtain on Peter Grant's tenure as Alloa manager.
Dunfermline now face Fife rivals Raith Rovers in the Premiership play-off quarter-final after finishing fourth.
The first leg is on Tuesday night with the return on Saturday.
Dick put the home side into the lead after 47 minutes as he netted from the near post.
The visitors did threaten. Kerr McInroy saw an effort tipped over by Neil Parry, Kevin O'Hara's shot from the right of the box was quickly picked up by the Alloa keeper, while Lewis McCann had an effort cleared off the line.
However, ending a run of five games without defeat could not be avoided.
Alloa manager Peter Grant: "I thought we were excellent tonight. I'm so proud of them. It's great to finish with a victory.
"I love football, there's no rest needed for me, I'm really excited about what the future holds."
Dunfermline manager Stevie Crawford: "I though it was an open game of football. We had double figures in terms of our efforts at goal. I thought it was a decent performance."
