Last Time Out

Dunfermline will be without the injured Greg Shields, Stephen Glass returns since his suspension is only for league matches and the cup tied David Graham misses out.  Scott Wilson and Jim McIntyre are the only survivors from the 16 man squad that played at Hampden last time in the 2007 Scottish Cup Final. 

DUNFERMLINE (v Ross County): Paul Gallacher; Calum Woods, Greg Shields (c) (Nick Phinn 31), Scott Thomson, Austin McCann; David Graham (Rory Loy 71), Steven Bell, Greg Ross, Alex Burke; Graham Bayne, Andy Kirk.
SUBS: Greg Paterson (GK), Lee Graham, Paul Willis.

FALKIRK (v Hearts): Dani Mallo; Jackie McNamara, Steven Pressley, Darren Barr, Thomas Scobbie; Patrick Cregg (Dayne Robertson 79), Scott Arfield, Arnau Riera, Burton O`Brien, Neil McCann, Michael Higdon
SUBS NOT USED:  Robert Olenik (GK), Lee Bullen, Dean Holden, Kevin McBride, Jerard Aafjes, Chris Mitchell

Referee will be Dougie MacDonald.  Dunfermline have eight players sitting on one yellow card, Falkirk have six but already have Steven Pressley suspended.  One more caution for any of these players would put them out of the Final.

Dunfermline - Calum Woods, Nick Phinn, Rory Loy, Greg Shields, Austin McCann, Scott Thomson, Stephen Glass and Steven Bell. 
Falkirk - Mark Stewart, Arnau Riera, Carl Finnigan, Neil McCann, Darren Barr, Daniel Castro.
