ATHLETIC have slashed admission prices for this month's crunch clash with Greenock Morton to just £5.

Manager John Hughes is hopeful that the fans will roar his team on in big numbers for the match on Friday March 18.

It has been brought forward from the Saturday to accommodate the BBC Scotland television cameras, and the Pars are looking to pack the stands to help the team in their battle against relegation.

Going into this weekend's fixtures, Dunfermline are ninth in the table, five points adrift of safety and only one clear of bottom club, Queen of the South.

They go to Arbroath on Saturday, then Hamilton Academical a week later, before returning home for the match with Morton.

Every general admission seat will cost £5, and Hughes said: "The fans have played such a massive role since I’ve been manager of the club.

"They’ve been vocal and very supportive at home and away. I hope they can come along for the Morton match and back the team again and roar us on in such a crucial match."

Meanwhile, the last Fife derby of the season will be rescheduled from its original date of April 2.

Dunfermline will host Raith Rovers in the fourth and final meeting of the sides this season, but the game will be moved because of Rovers' involvement in the SPFL Trust Trophy Final.

They progressed against Kilmarnock last night (Wednesday) to set up a meeting with Queen of the South, which will take place at Airdrieonians' Excelsior Stadium on April 3.
