Partick Thistle 1-0 Dunfermline Athletic: Fifers need to better Ayr result on final day

Dunfermline Athletic need to better Ayr United's result on the final day of the season to avoid the Scottish Championship relegation play-off after falling to defeat at Partick Thistle.

Ross Docherty's winner consigned the Fifers to a 14th league loss.

And, although they can no longer finish bottom after Queen of the South drew with Ayr, they now trail the latter by a point with one game left.

Dunfermline host relegated Queens on Friday, while Ayr welcome Thistle.

Ian McCall's side have effectively clinched the final promotion play-off place as they are still three points clear of fifth-placed Raith Rovers - with a far superior goal difference - and one game to go.
