Preview Hamilton
Wednesday, 6th Feb 2013Dunfermline have won only one of the last eight meetings but that was this season in September.
Admission: Adults £16, Concessions £8 (over 65s and under 18s - photo ID required)
Dunfermline face Hamilton Accies again on Saturday but this time at New Douglas Park with three league points at stake. It probably a word that won`t be mentioned in the build up but there has to be revenge on the menu after Hamilton`s 2-0 knock out of the Pars in the William Hill Scottish Cup just seven days before. This is the 67th league fixture between the teams and the Pars lead 29 to 25 on wins.
