It`s over five years since Dunfermline recorded an SPL win over Hibs at East End Park

Dunfermline v Hibs 23/10/06

Ticket and Admission Information

As each SPL fixture passes there are fewer points left to win and this is the sixth last match of this SPL season. At the very least the Pars require seven points and the sooner points start coming the more comfortable it will be for all concerned.  

The next opportunity comes on Saturday when Hibs travel to East End Park.  The visitors might well have their mind on the following weekend`s Scottish Cup Semi Final meeting at Hampden but Dunfermline`s will be firmly on SPL survival.

Hibernian Home Milestones

It`s over five years since Dunfermline recorded an SPL win over Hibs at East End Park. After the Edinburgh side smashed their thirteen year gap without a win with their 4-1 victory back in March 2005, they have continued that winning habit. The last meeting of the clubs at East End Park was Jim Leishman`s final match in charge, Jim threw in the towel after the 4-0 Monday night defeat on 23rd October.
