CUP TIE ON SKY

More incentive for the Pars to get Past East Fife

East Fife and Dunfermline have an added incentive in their Tennent`s Scottish Cup replay next week, as the winners will face Celtic in a live match on Sky Sports. The broadcasters will show the game on Sunday 6 February with a noon kick-off.

There is a considerable financial benefit, as the Scottish FA will allocate a television fee of 165,000 pounds to the clubs in the live match, so it is worth 82,500 pounds each.

Meanwhile, Gretna and Dundee United have arranged to try again to play their third round tie on Monday night, so next week`s schedule is as follows:

17 January, 2005
Gretna v Dundee United

18 January, 2005
Ross County v Airdrie United
Replays
Dunfermline Athletic v East Fife
Stranraer v Ayr United

19 January, 2005
Replay
Heart of Midlothian v Partick Thistle

All kick-offs are 7.45 pm.
