DUNFERMLINE will play host to Airdrieonians in a rearranged SPFL Championship fixture next month.

The teams will meet at KDM Group East End Park on Tuesday March 5 following the postponement of their scheduled clash last month.

The game had been due to take place on January 13, but was called off due to a waterlogged pitch.

Pars chairman and CEO, David Cook, subsequently apologised, citing that a "suspected failure of the undersoil heating system along the South Stand touchline" resulted in a large amount of water pooling on the surface.

The new date comes four days before the final Fife derby of the season, at Raith Rovers, and after a home match with Ayr United on March 2.

Dunfermline Press:

Athletic have won both of their meetings with the Diamonds so far, with a 2-1 home success on the opening day of the season being followed by a 2-0 victory at the Excelsior Stadium in December.
