The Scottish Championship begins this Friday as Dunfermline host Dundee in the opening match of the season.

The hosts suffered an alarming end to the 2018/19 season with seven defeats and a draw in their final eight games, following on from a five-game win streak.

Dunfermline’s squad has been trimmed of much deadwood, while new striker Kevin Nisbet is an exciting talent on the rise.

The 22-year-old bagged 29 goals in 34 Scottish League One goals last season and should be more than capable of finding the net a level above.

Relegated Dundee finished rock-bottom of the Scottish Premiership last season and following a huge turnover of players they would do well to start this campaign in decent form.
