Preview Hibernian
Wednesday, 4th Apr 2007It`s over five years since Dunfermline recorded an SPL win over Hibs at East End Park
Ticket and Admission Information
As each SPL fixture passes there are fewer points left to win and this is the sixth last match of this SPL season. At the very least the Pars require seven points and the sooner points start coming the more comfortable it will be for all concerned.
The next opportunity comes on Saturday when Hibs travel to East End Park. The visitors might well have their mind on the following weekend`s Scottish Cup Semi Final meeting at Hampden but Dunfermline`s will be firmly on SPL survival.
