ICT hope that they will finally be allowed to face Motherwell in the fourth round of the Scottish Cup this Monday (18th). The match was originally scheduled to be played on January the 9th but it was postponed on that date and on the 12th on the advice of the police. Terry Butcher’s side have had a long break from competitive matches, their last game ended with a 1-1 draw with Dundee on Boxing Day. Motherwell on the other hand were in action on Saturday, an emphatic 3-0 win against Kilmarnock gave Craig Brown his first win in charge of ‘Well. The win was in their first game of 2010 and was Browns second game since replacing Jim Gannon at the end of the year. However, before that win on Saturday, Motherwell hadn’t won any of their previous 8 games, with 5 losses and 3 draws including a very disappointing 6-1 away defeat to Rangers. Boxing Day saw St. Johnstone pick up a 3-1 win against The Steelmen, bringing Gannon’s brief stint as ‘Well gaffer to an abrupt end. The Fir Park side are currently sitting 6th in the SPL, four points behind 5th placed Hearts with a game in hand. Team News Inverness ICT are boosted by the return to fitness of Ross Tokely (Broken Hand), Stuart Golabek (Hamstring) and Jonny Hayes (Hamstring) after all players missed games in December. The Highlanders have no fresh injuries to cope with but are still without Jamie Duff (Knee) who is sidelined for the whole season. ICT have not signed anybody during the current transfer window as yet but they will be delighted that nobody has left yet, bar Stuart Duff, who ended his brief loan spell with the Caley Jags at the beginning of the month. ICT will be without Lionel Djebi-Zadi, who is suspended after he was dismissed in last season’s Scottish Cup loss to Falkirk. Likely Line-up; Ryan Esson – Ross Tokely, Narius Bulvitis, Grant Munro, Stuart Golabek – Lee Cox, Russell Duncan – Jonny Hayes, Danni Sanchez, Richie Foran – Adam Rooney. Motherwell Motherwell have no new injury worries for Mondays game and are boosted by the news that top scorer Lukas Jutkiewicz and John Ruddy have extended their loan deals. The pair, both from Premier League side Everton joined ‘Well on loan for 6 months at the beginning of the season and have now extended their deals for an extra month. Jukiewicz has even stated that he would consider staying until the season. French defender Yassin Moutaoaukil has returned to Charlton after just 3-and-a-half-months at Fir Park. According to the BBC Ross Forbes has been added to the 'doubtful' klist for this game. Likely Line-up; John Ruddy – Steven Hammell, Mark Reynolds, Stephen Craigan, Giles Coke – Keith Lasley, Jim O’Brien, Tom Hateley, Ross Forbes – Lukas Jutkiewicz, John Sutton. Previous Meetings The two sides have already met this season, in the CIS cup back in September, with Motherwell coming out of that match with a place in the next round, winning 3-2. Robert McHugh headed ‘Well into a first half lead before Andy Barrowman levelled with 20 minutes of regulation time to play. When extra time came around, Motherwell went in front again through Narius Bulvitis, the Latvian defender turning into his own net. ICT continued to press and equalized again from a cracking header from local lad Grant Munro, but with penalties looming, The Steelmen stole it with two minutes to play, a beautiful curling effort from Ross Forbes beat Ryan Esson and hit the top left hand corner. In all competitive competitions the two clubs have met 21 times with 7 wins for ICT, 12 wins for ‘Well and 2 draws. A memorable game (well, for ICT!) between the two sides was back in 2004, where ICT beat ‘Well 1-0 at Fir Park through a simply magnificent half-way line strike from Barry Wilson that beat the despairing keeper to send ICT into the next round of the cup - a feat that they hope to emulate on Tuesday. Prediction This will be a difficult test for ICT, their lack of games being a bit of a pain for Terry Butcher. Motherwell have not been on the best of form recently and 1 win in 9 games isn’t a good thing so ICT will fancy their chances on Tuesday. I will go for a 2-1 win for ICT on the night with our goals coming from Adam Rooney and Jonny Hayes and Lukas Jutkiewicz grabbing a goal for Craig Brown’s side.
