Dunfermline prepare to entertain Glasgow Celtic at East End Park on Saturday evening, looking to improve on a dire past record against their opponents. It does not make pleasant reading, winning just 8 of the 43 games played, and losing 24.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at East End Park was less than a year ago, in May 2003, as the visitors ran out cosy 1-4 winners in a Scottish Premier match.
