Inverness -V- St Mirren - Cup Replay

Cup Replay



Inverness and St Mirren go head to head after a 1-1 draw at the first time of asking left the clubs with this replay on Tuesday night at Inverness. The Buddies had opened the scoring in the first half when Marc McAusland scored from close range. Inverness took control after the break and the draw was no more than they deserved, the equaliser from Josh Meekings who fired home through a ruck of players after a stramash in the home goal area.

So, here we are, it's been a brisk December day in the Highlands and Inverness will be boosted by the return to the squad of the man of the moment Marley Watkins and shoot on sight Greg Tansey. Nick Ross will likely make way for Watkins, but it's a tougher choice for Hughes to make with Tansey available. Inverness have no fresh worries.

St Mirren saw Thomson, McGinn and Osbourne return to the side at the weekend and that gave them more presence on the park. Footballing thug Jim Goodwin is available.

tm4tj Prediction:- This should be a stroll for Inverness with the Buddies struggling in the league and Tommy Craig doing his best to get sacked. With Watkins back he will be able to get behind the St Mirren defence and the goals will come. Bring on Partick, that's what I say.
