ATHLETIC will travel to Livingston next week after the SPFL confirmed December's postponed match has been rearranged.
Yesterday we reported that Dunfermline's home game with Inverness Caledonian Thistle - scheduled for February 17 - was called off due to the Highland club's involvement in the Irn-Bru Cup.

That left Allan Johnston's team with the prospect of two weeks without a game but, what had been a free Saturday on February 10, will now see them travel to the Tony Macaroni Arena.
The Pars had been due to visit David Hopkin's Lions on December 30 but the game was called off due to severe winter weather.
The Scottish Cup fifth round will take centre stage next Saturday but, with both teams out of the competition, they will now play their outstanding league fixture.
Dunfermline drew 1-1 at Livingston on the opening day of the season before winning 3-1 at East End Park in October.
