The Pars return to Rugby Park for the first time since December 2006. They have made 17 trips there on Premier League duty and have yet to return with a win. It proved a happier hunting ground for once in the CIS Insurance Cup when back in September 2006 the Pars had a famous 4-3 win.

The last league match between the sides in Ayrshire ended with a 5-1 win for the home side over Stephen Kenny`s Pars. It would be really nice to change the script away from the last time Dunfermline won at Rugby Park in the league was almost nineteen years ago. Goals from Hamish French and Craig Robertson secured the points in a First Division match. Hamish netted twice and Craig once in the Boxing Day fixture.
