Dunfermline's only Scottish Cup tie against Ross County was a 4-0 win at East End Park in January 1997 when County were in just their third season of league football. It was over eleven years before County returned when goals from Scott Thomson, Nick Phinn and Steven Bell meant the Pars won the first ever league match between the clubs 3-1 at East End Park in September 2008. Unfortunately Dunfermline have only managed to beat the Staggies once on their subsequent five visits.
