Dunfermline under-strength for Livingston clash

Dunfermline manager Jimmy Calderwood has selection problems ahead of the home clash with Livingston.

Midfielder Barry Nicholson is suspended following his sending-off in the defeat at Hibernian.

And a flu bug has affected Andrei Skerla, Dave Nicholls and Youssef Rossi, while keeper Marco Ruitenbeek and Justin Skinner are carrying knocks.

Livingston travel to East End Park knowing they will be without the services of striker David Fernandes.

Fernandes is out for a fortnight after undergoing surgery on his knee, while midfielder Francisco Quino is suspended after his dismissal at St Johnstone.

Defender Philippe Brinquin is still out with a knee injury.
