ATHLETIC'S Hogmanay derby at Raith Rovers has been moved to January 2, it has been confirmed.

The Pars were due to travel to Stark's Park on New Year's Eve but, following an agreement between the clubs, the fixture will now take place two days later.

It comes after Dunfermline's festive clash with Falkirk, originally scheduled for Christmas Eve, was switched to Boxing Day following discussions between the clubs.

The kick off for what will be the first match of 2017 remains at 3pm.
