THE third Fife derby of the League One season between Kelty Hearts and Dunfermline Athletic has been moved.
The teams are set to meet at New Central Park on Christmas Eve, with the festivities having originally been scheduled to begin at 3pm.
However, both clubs have now agreed to rearrange the kick off time, which has been brought forward to 1pm.
This season is the first in which Kelty and the Pars have met competitively on league duty, following the former's League Two title win last season, and the latter's relegation from the Championship.
Their first meeting ended scoreless at New Central Park in August, before league leaders Dunfermline edged the second 2-1 at East End Park.
This weekend, John Potter's Kelty side travel to play Airdrieonians.
