Austin McCann v Ross County

The penultimate home fixture of the season is against Ross County on Easter Saturday. The Pars sit five points ahead their opponents but the Dingwall side have four games in hand.  Ross County can reach a maximum of 71 points and Dunfermline just 64.  Both are looking upwards at Inverness who could reach 73 and Dundee 69 hoping that points will be dropped by the top two in their remaining six games.  Inverness and Dundee meet on the final day of the season but as Jim McIntyre keeps saying Dunfermline need to concentrate on winning their remaining five games and let others worry about them.

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. The Staggies then won the next two before the Pars won 3-1 in Dingwall on a Tuesday night towards the end of last season.  Earlier this season the teams ended 0-0 in a hugely entertaining midweek match at Victoria Park, served up another 6 goal thriller with another draw in Dunfermline and subsequently a 2-2 draw in the north in February.

David Graham v Ross County

County`s four away wins this season have been at Inverness, Dundee, Airdrie and Greenock.  Just 17 of their 44 points have been won on the road but their home form has been stunning as Hibs found out to their horror in the Quarter Finals of the Active Nations Scottish Cup.

Dunfermline v Ross County

Dunfermline have won four of their last six league fixtures whereas County have won just one of their last six. Derek Adams` team have only won once in the league since Dunfermline last came up against them in February - a 1-0 win over Raith on 6 March.  Hopefully that statistic will not have changed before the Easter Eggs are broken into.
