Dunfermline striker Liam Buchanan has said that the players are not under pressure despite their poor home form this season.

The Pars face Rangers at East End Park this weekend having failed to record a home league victory since being promoted last season.

Having drawn with Kilmarnock in midweek, Buchanan says the side are hoping to go one better and take three points but are not letting their record affect them as they prepare.

"Every game at home now is an opportunity to get points on the board and to get that elusive home win,” he said.

"We're all working hard to try to put it right. I don't think it weighs on your mind, it's more of a fact it's an issue and everybody's asking us.

"I don't think it's affecting us, I don't think it's putting any more pressure on us.

"It's not good enough, but we'll need to keep working hard and hopefully we can put it right come Saturday."

Rangers are looking to bounce back after losing in the Scottish cup to Dundee United last week. Buchanan said that he saw the Ibrox side as SPL title contenders and said that he expected a tough 90 minutes.

"No matter whether they're coming off a defeat or a good win, they're a quality side,” he explained.

"They've got quality throughout their side, guys that will probably not take much notice on what's happening on the outside.

"It's more important they look at the players they've got on the park, rather than their finances.

"When you look at their team it's still a really strong side that can go and win the Premier League."
