Dunfermline manager Stephen Kenny believes the disappointment of relegation could spur his players on to Tennent's Scottish Cup glory.
The Pars lost their place in the SPL after a disappointing league campaign, but have the opportunity to end the season on a high when then take on hot-favourites Celtic at Hampden Park on Saturday.
"I wouldn't say the players are over it (relegation) yet," said Kenny.
"Everyone at the club is disappointed we've been relegated and that goes without saying.
"But we have to move on. This is a time when everyone has to rally round and that's how everyone at the club views it.
"We know that and everyone expects Celtic to win convincingly.
"From our point of view, it's a one-off game and we've proved to be strong in the one-off games in the cup so far.
"We will have a great crowd behind us so we should enjoy the atmosphere, express ourselves and not be fearful."
