Dunfermline v Airdrie

At the beginning of the season the Pars defeated Airdrie 2-0. Exactly a year before on 23rd August the sides played out a 0-0 draw at East End Park but in November 2008 Dunfermline recorded a fine 3-1 win at the Excelsior.  With a 1-1 draw the Pars failed to beat Airdrie in the January fixture at home and the return in Lanarkshire in April had a similar score line.  There was a happier outcome in February`s Homecoming Scottish Cup tie with Graham Bayne`s 73rd minute strike earning his team a 2-1 win at Airdrie.

The only other previous meetings have been the 4-3 defeat at East End Park in the 2005-2006 Scottish Cup in and the 2-0 Challenge Cup win in Lanarkshire last season.
