Callum Morris would love to bring the curtain down on the league season with a final meeting with Rangers this weekend but he insists Dunfermline have ‘bigger things’ to concern themselves than the runaway champions.
League One’s top two teams will face each other at East End Park on Saturday, with Rangers having long since secured the title and Dunfermline having already clinched second spot and pole position in the promotion play-offs.
With those play-offs kicking off next Wednesday, Pars manager Jim Jefferies has confessed he will risk ‘losing handsomely’ against the Ibrox men so he can rest the majority of his first-choice line-up, including Morris, to save them from the threat of injury or suspension.
And, although Morris insists he would relish featuring in the Fifers’ fifth clash of the season with Rangers, the 24-year-old accepts that the impending play-off battle has to take priority.
The one-time Newcastle United defender said: “It is a big game against Rangers because they are a big team, but there is nothing to play for for them or for us.
“We are all solely focused on the play-offs now. For this whole season, every game has been building up to these four games coming up. Now the rest of the season doesn’t really matter it is these four games and that’s it.
“You want to play every game but these are the big four. There will be a big crowd there on Saturday but there are bigger things than playing Rangers this season.”
