Neil Lennon has warned his players not to be complacent ahead of Saturday`s trip to face Ross County, despite the Pars` recent resurgence in form. The manager described County as "stacked full of quality" and warned that Saturday`s fixture will be "one of the toughest" away games in the Championship.
"They are a Premiership team who`ve come down and they are stacked full of quality. They`ll be hurting at the minute because they`ve maybe not been as consistent as what many people thought."
"You know what this league is like. You get on a run and anything can happen."
Injury concerns ahead of the Highland trip:
Billy Terrell forced off at half-time vs Airdrieonians with calf strain
Charlie Gilmour missed Tuesday`s match with medial ligament tweak
Alfons Amade out with dead leg but may have chance for weekend
Barney Stewart going through concussion protocol but should be okay
🔴 BUILDING MOMENTUM AFTER BACK-TO-BACK WINS
Dunfermline travel north seeking a third consecutive victory, having recorded back-to-back wins for the first time in 19 months. The recent 2-0 triumph over Raith Rovers followed by Tuesday`s comfortable 4-0 win at Airdrieonians has lifted spirits at KDM Group East End Park.
Lennon commented: "That is the first back to back wins since March last year. So we`re delighted with that. I was glad to get that record or monkey out of the way."
🔴 LOCAL PRESS COVERAGE

The Dunfermline Press echoed the manager`s cautious optimism, reporting that Lennon believes Ross County have the quality to be "there or thereabouts" in the promotion picture despite their poor start to the season.
The article notes this will be the first visit to Dingwall on league business since April 2019, when the Pars lost 1-0. They`re looking for only a third win at the Global Energy Stadium in 11 attempts.

=== SUMMARY ===
The Pars are in good form heading into a challenging away fixture at Ross County. Despite the Staggies` poor league position, Neil Lennon is taking nothing for granted against a side he believes has quality throughout. With some injury concerns to monitor, particularly goalkeeper Billy Terrell, the team will be looking to make it three wins in a row and continue their climb up the Championship table.
The recent back-to-back victories have lifted the mood around East End Park, with the team showing defensive solidity (three consecutive clean sheets) and attacking threat. Currently sitting 5th in the table with a game in hand on some teams above them, the Pars are well-positioned for a push towards the promotion places.
