Dunfermline A. prepare to entertain Glasgow Celtic at East End Park on Sunday afternoon, looking to improve on a dire past record against their opponents. It does not make pleasant reading, winning just 8 of the 47 games played, and losing 27.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at East End Park was less than a year ago, in February 2005, as the visitors ran out cosy 0-3 winners in a Scottish F.A. Cup match.
