*Pre league reconstruction

For years Tannadice was one of those grounds that Dunfermline couldn`t win at for love nor money but suddenly it became a place for celebration.

That started with the famous First Division `title decider` in 1996, and was followed with similar emotion when Jim Leishman`s side secured their SPL status at the same ground in 2005. . Then at the end of season 2005-06 a cracking Freddie Daquin goal gave Dunfermline hopes (false as it turned out) that they could finish ninth in the league. ..

Dunfermline then drew twice at Tannadice before an 85th minute Paul Burns goal secured another win in August 2011.United won the last league meeting at Tannadice and have also won the two more recent League Cup meetings.

Of the last twelve league matches between Dunfermline and United, the Pars have won four lost four with four games ending all square. .It is five visits back since the Fifers left with a win.

Last League Meeting at Tannadice

United went level with Hibs at the tiop of the Championship after taking the three points from Dunfermline.  The visitors had made a fair contest of it but in 39th minute Nat Wedderburn was shown a straight red for kicking through Tony Andreu on the United edge of the centre circle.

It looked like some solid defending might see the Pars through to a point but eleven minutes from time United struck. From a corner the ball was not taken as it swung in and broke for MURRAY to bulge the net from six yards. 1-0
