THERE has been deadline day movement at East End Park as Dunfermline Athletic confirmed that Conner Duthie and Scott Lochhead have left the club on loan.
Duthie, 19, has joined League One Stenhousemuir on a temporary arrangement until the end of the season, while Lochhead has made a similar move to League Two Clyde.

Duthie, who joined the club in March on a free transfer after leaving Hibernian, made his debut in a 2-2 draw with Forfar in April after the Pars had secured the League One title.
After making two more appearances before the end of the campaign, he did not feature in Allan Johnston's top team until November's Scottish Cup win at Buckie Thistle.
He played in the following two games, against Ayr United and Morton, last month but has now been allowed to move to Ochilview to gain more first team experience.
Lochhead, 20, signed for Athletic in the summer after leaving Dundee United and, whilst he has been a regular in John Potter's under-20s, he has made one first-team appearance so far.

He joins a Bully Wee team who are fifth in the table and battling for a promotion play-off place.
That concluded transfer business at East End Park for deadline day, although emergency loans and out of contract players are still open to Johnston if he wishes to strengthen his squad further.
We can confirm business at East End Park is done for today.
