Last updated : 28 March 2011 By BBC Sport

Defender Darren McCormack is the only absentee through injury for Ross County as manager Jimmy Calderwood prepares with an otherwise fully fit squad.Dunfermline are again likely to be without a number of players as they attempt to move top of the First Division with victory in Dingwall.

Injury is expected to sideline Neil McGregor, Steven Bell, Nicky Phinn, Joe Cardle, Andy Kirk and Ryan Thomson.

It is the third meeting in five weeks between the sides.

Ross County manager Jimmy Calderwood: "We have to start this game well as we may not get a chance to get back into things if we give Dunfermline the initiative.

"Beating Morton on Saturday was a great result. However, we made it harder than it needed to be by starting slowly.

"We need more wins to move away from the trouble we are in.

"We have drawn twice with Dunfermline since I started my job here and it would be great to make it third time lucky with a win."

Dunfermline manager Jim McIntyre: "We know them quite well so we are aware of their strengths.

"We have got to go there and look to impose our game plan on them in order to win and one thing we have to do better is make sure our final ball is of the highest standard."
