Scottish Communiti

Scottish Communities League Cup

The Second Round Draw for the Scottish Communities League Cup saw Dunfermline drawn against their Fife rivals for the first time since 1988 in this competition.  After all last season`s Fife Derbies in the First Division, the Methil club missed out and it is the first meeting between the clubs since 2005 in the Scottish Cup.  Six years ago it took two games for the Pars to progress, drawing 0-0 at New Bayview before winning 3-1 at East End Park.

The last meeting in this competition in August 1988 went to penalties and the Pars won through to face Motherwell. The only other Pars successes were in season 1958/59. East Fife have won five of the eight meetings but that was all in 1953 and before.
