The sides have wisely decided that to face each other three times in the space of a month, before the league season gets under way, would be taking familiarity too far.
The two teams have drawn each other in both the Alba Challenge Cup and the Co-operative Insurance Cup, both times at East End Park, on 24 and 31 July respectively, but they have now decided to cancel their pre-season friendly scheduled for Gayfield on Wednesday, 7 July.
