Victor Wanyama made a cameo appearance as Dunfermline secured a priceless win against fellow relegation battlers Queen's Park.

Victor Wanyama’s new club, Dunfermline Athletic, earned a priceless 1-0 win over fellow relegation battlers Queen's Park in the Scottish Championship.

Wanyama came on as a 91st-minute substitute to shore up the midfield and ensure that the three crucial points for Dunfermline are secured. His cameo appearance came after he returned from a red card suspension.

Chris Kane’s 69th-minute strike proved decisive in the high-octane encounter, lifting Dunfermline out of the relegation playoff zone on goal difference.

With Hamilton winning at Partick Thistle, the result dropped Queen’s Park into ninth place as the relegation race heats up.

With just three games left, both Dunfermline and Queen's Park are now five points clear of bottom-placed Airdrieonians — but the fight for survival is far from over.

After returning from his suspension, Wanyama is set to play a crucial role to ensure that Dunfermline are not relegated to the third tier.

Wanyama has come under criticism lately following the red card that earned him a one- match suspension.

Wanyama has received the backing of some coaches in the division who have lavished the former Harambee Stars captain with praise.

"We knew with Neil Lennon coming in, a big personality, big for the crowd, Victor Wanyama coming in, we had to make sure we got the crowd on our side rather than theirs," Hamilton coach John Rankin said as previously as reported by Pulse Sports.

Dunfermline face Patrick Thistle on April 19, before settling scores with Airdriaonians and wrapping the season against Greenock Morton.
