Dunfermline A. prepare to entertain 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 49 games played, and losing 29.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at East End Park was less than a year ago, in February 2006, where Celtic annihilated the Pars 1-8 in a Scottish Premier match.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Nothing seems to be going right for the Pars at home recently, and I can see no immediate turn around in fortunes as the The Bhoys come away with an easy victory. Away win
