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.

Rookie manager James McPake will be thrown into the deep end during his first managerial job since retiring from playing for the Dee.

He has talent in the Dundee ranks, but picking their heads up from last season’s misery may take time to get right.
