      Teaser Paragraph:

    dundee_ict.pngDundee -V- ICT    Preview

    Its Crunch time at Dens Park Stadium as the two tips for the top square off in what should be a heated affair. Both Dundee and Inverness Caledonian Thistle head into this fixture level on points. Dundee seeing off Morton on the opening day and scraping a point against First Division newcomers Raith Rovers in a 2 – 2 draw. ICT snatched a win from Dunfermline and were held to a draw by Ayr United in what has been described as a frustrating encounter. This will only be the sixth competitive game between the two sides since Inverness CT’s inception into the senior leagues of Scottish football. The most famous clash between the two sides came on the 20th of April 2003 at Hampden Park as both sides fought for a place in the Scottish Cup final. Dundee came out on top that day winning the game 1 – 0. The two teams have only appeared in the same league in Caley Thistle’s inaugural SPL season, which saw cash strapped Dundee relegated. In all competitions Dundee have thwarted the Caley Jags twice, lost two and drew one. As the world has seen many times form counts for nothing in football. Both sides will be looking for three points to edge out in front of the other. ICT in particular will be looking to gain some momentum going into their first league derby with fellow high flyers Ross County in five years. Inverness CT go into this game without veteran defender Ross Tokley who is serving game 3 of his 4 match suspension. Forwards Andy Barrowman and Eric Odhiambo are looking doubtful. One player who will defiantly not feature is Dougie Imrie who is sidelined long term. Dundee fans will be anxious to see if Captain Robert Douglas will return to the side. Many Dens expect blockbuster summer signing Leigh Griffiths to make his first start. Former ICT players Richie Hart and Brian Kerr face their former clubs for the first time in competitive action since their departures from the Tulluch Caledonian Stadium. This match promises to be both unpredictable and intense. Lets hope the Caley Jags can bring it on home and edge one step closer to their goal of bouncing back to top flight football in one season. It’s not going to be easy but we belive!
