It is nine games back now since Dunfermline last defeated Inverness Caley at East End Park that was ten years ago in December 1999. Those Caley successes include a CIS Insurance Cup tie played there on 9th October 2001. That night Jimmy Calderwood`s Pars side went out on penalties despite a 63rd minute Steven Hampshire equaliser getting the Pars back on track at 1-1.
