CHARLIE GILMOUR is relishing a Fife derby behind enemy lines for its red-hot aggression... he’s just under orders from his old man not to see yellow.

The 26-year-old has racked up eight bookings in 17 games, joint highest in the Championship, after becoming a buzzbomb in Dunfermline' midfield.

Gilmour wasn't exposed to derbies before pitching up at East End Park in the summer and enters this one as part ofa Pars side without a win in their last four.

A trip to Kirkcaldy is his third of the season as the ex-Arsenal youngster, whose dad Ian played professionally, said: “It was fierce.

“I'll be good, I'm looking forward to it. These are the games I love playing in. Its nice and aggressive, it means a lot to the fans and a lot to us.

“Especially when we play away, you don't get much time and space, it’s about winning individual battles.
