C:WindowsTempphpFFD8.tmpDunfermline will want to finish off their 2015-16 fixture list with a win before they are officially crowned League One champions.  Lewis Martin will miss out the game against Peterhead ahead of the title party at East End Park. The defender has a groin injury and will join Callum Fordyce (broken leg) on the sidelines.Forward Michael Paton is a doubt but Joe Cardle and Faissal El Bakhtaoui could return. Manager Allan Johnston said: "We will have a huge crowd to support us and we want to end the season on a high after a couple of disappointing results. Peterhead are a good side and a side who have given us problems all season so it would be good to round things off with a first win over them."
 
The Blue Toon, who have secured their play-off place, will be without Rory McAllister after he was red-carded against Ayr last weekend. The striker, who was dismissed minutes after missing a penalty, begins a two-game ban and joins defenders Ally Gilchrist and Scott Ross (both groin) on the sidelines. Manager Jim McInally said: "We have become a team who are losing goals too easily recently and whilst injuries have been a factor we cannot continue like that. Dunfermline have had two disappointing results recently and have been trying a few players out but I am expecting us to face a full strength side as they look to end their season in style. We need a good performance to get increased confidence for the play-offs."
