James McPake has added two new players to his squad by bringing in two loans from the Scottish top flight.
The Dunfermline Athletic manager said on Thursday that he was chasing deals ahead of today’s deadline after identifying a number of targets.
The Pars have announced the loan signings of Robbie Mahon from Motherwell and Kane Ritchie-Hosler from Rangers.
Mahon is a 19-year-old winger who signed for the Steelmen from Bohemians.

Mahon has signed up at East End Park until the end of the season.
Ritchie-Hosler, another winger who can also operate at right-back, is 20 years old and began his career as a youth at Manchester City before moving to Ibrox in 2019.
