New Contracts
With pre-season not too far away, manager Stephen Kenny has been busy trying to secure several out of contract stars on new contracts.
So far, Scott Morrison has agreed a new deal to stay at East End Park. He has penned a one year extension after battling back from a serious knee injury which kept him out of action for around a year.
Owen Morrison has also been offered a new contract, as has Gary Mason and Tam McManus, but none of the trio have committed yet. The management and fans alike are anxious Mason and McManus will stay, especially as they have been linked to Hibs and Dundee United respectively.
Another player out of contract is goalkeeper Dorus De Vries and although the Pars have offered an extension, it looks unlikely the Dutchman will stay as he is rumoured to be attracting interest from several clubs, including Hibs, Swansea City and Premiership Wigan.
It looks like a case of wait and see over the next week or two.
Pre-Season friendlies
Dunfermline have lined up some pre-season fixtures for East End Park in July. On the 24th, League Two play off winners Bristol Rovers pay a visit while on a Scottish tour, while on Thursday the 26th two time European Cup winners Nottingham Forest, including new signing Neil Lennon, take on the Athletic. A proposed friendly on the 21st with Sheffield United has now been cancelled, while we play a Manchester United XI on August 8th for Scott Thomson's testimonial.
More details on the pre-season schedule will follow.
Fixtures announcement
The new season's fixtures will be announced tomorrow at 10.00am and will be posted on the club's official website at http://www.dafc.co.uk/ and on the BBC Sport Scotland website.
