Up until last Friday Arbroath were unbeaten in pre season but a trip to Murray Park put an end to that. That apart they have had a good warm up to going into the competitive action which will take them to Tynecastle next for a live televised League Cup tie next Thursday night.
Dunfermline have had a good pre season culminating in the home match against Championship contenders, Hibs that they lost by the odd goal in three.
