Full details ahead of Dunfermline Athletic v Aberdeen in the Scottish Cup quarter-final.
Dunfermline Athletic will look to make the final four of the Scottish Cup for the first time since 2009 as they welcome holders Aberdeen to East End Park this weekend.
The first time the sides have faced each other since the 2012/13 season, hosts Dunfermline sealed their spot in the quarter-finals with a 2-0 win over Kelty Hearts last month, while Aberdeen qualified for the last eight with a win against Motherwell by the exact same scoreline.
Currently managed by interim boss Peter Leven, the Dons visit the second-tier side out of form, though, after a run of six league games without a win, leaving Dunfermline boss Neil Lennon to admit he is smelling blood on 'desperate' Aberdeen as the Pars boss looks to seal a semi-final spot.
Ahead of the game, Pars manager Lennon said: “That’s why I’m here. Not to resurrect the club, because it’s always been here. It’s a club that’s sort of been out of the picture. What we want to do is get it back into the picture and make it trendy again. It’s all about temperament and playing well on the day. Anything can happen in a cup competition. If we can win it playing brilliant, great. If we can win it playing ugly, great.”
