The 2010–11 season was Dunfermline Athletic's 4th and final season in the Scottish First Division after being relegated from the Scottish Premier League in 2007. On 30 April 2011, the Pars beat Morton to seal promotion back to the SPL.
Pre-season
During preseason manager Jim McIntyre made two goalkeeper signings to bolster the squad. He signed Chris Smith,[1] after his excellent performance on loan from St Mirren, and Kyle Allison[2] as back up. Also signed are Ross County's Alex Keddie[3] and Pat Clarke[4] from Dundee. Pre-season results were awful including a 5-1 hammering by a Manchester United reserve squad.
