In the "Premier" league of Scotland, five matches were played on Saturday - the country's vice champion Glasgow "Celtic" returned to the path of victories, while A.Skerlos' "Dunfermline" club suffered a painful defeat.
"Dunfermline" played away against "Motherwell" and after 24 minutes, the visitors were left with ten men when S.Wilson was sent off the field. The hosts failed to take advantage of their numerical superiority, but in the end they still won as J.Hamilton scored a winning goal from close range in the last minute. The Lithuanian A.Skerla had to watch this match from the substitutes' bench.
The league leaders defending champions Glasgow "Rangers" also secured their second victory, thanks to B.Ferguson's goal they defeated "Inverness" away, "Kilmarnock" won at "Aberdeen" as visitors, and the league newcomer "Falkirk" beat the "Livingston" team.
On the last matchday of the round on Sunday, Edinburgh, recently joined by three Lithuanians R.Bednaras, R.Pospišilas, and French J.Brellier, as well as negotiating with the Greek P.Fyssas, will face in the Scottish capital derby.
