The trip to Aberdeen means that horns will again be locked with the Two Jimmies and their band of five former Pars. The Fifers record there is not the best with the three Premier League wins there coming in 1997 (2-0 and 2-1) and in August 2003 (2-1).

Sitting in seventh place, Aberdeen are unbeaten in their five SPL matches this season and they might well be smarting after their CIS Insurance Cup exit to the Queens Park amateurs in midweek. Dunfermline will yet again be miles under strength but great things are often achieved in the face of adversity.
