After two games back to back against Ayr United there is a brief respite before a return to Somerset Park on 14th December as Dunfermline Athletic welcome Forfar Athletic to East End Park on Saturday.  This is the Loons first time back since the dramatic 6-1 win after extra time in the First Division Play offs last season.

Dunfermline`s record at Station Park is none too good with their last win there being in September 1995 in the Challenge Cup but at East End Park, Forfar have won only three times; in seasons 1922-23, 1950-51 and 1983-84 - all in the Scottish Second Division.
