High Noon at Tulloch Caledonian Stadium for the mid-day shoot out.

The second half of the capital double sees Heart of Midlothian visit Inverness this weekend.  Mixed fortunes last Saturday saw Inverness snatch a point at the Jambo's city rivals Hibernian, while Hearts were cuffed 3-0 by Celtic.  Former Inverness cult hero Ian Black will return North with his new employers

 looking to give Hearts a boost towards the top half of the league, while Terry Butcher will be hoping to consolidate the Highlanders position in the cut throat SPL.

CTO's davie has run the rule over both clubs and here are his thoughts prior to this weekends game.

Welcome to the SPL’s family weekend, unless you sit in that section of the North stand when it’s that every weekend. Reduced prices, activities for the bairns and autograph signing amongst other things should pack them in. Hearts are our visitors, hot on the heels of our creditable away draw against the green half of Embra. Always the owners of a decent away support, they should contribute to an excellent atmosphere on Saturday. All we need is a bit of sunshine, like Leith……..

Team news from Gorgie Road is dominated by them getting back Rudi Skacel for a second stint at the club. Given that he scored 17 goals in his previous tenure, he’s worth watching, but Cyprus to Sneck might be a bit of a shock to the system. Defensively, they are a wee bit short with Wallace injured and Zaliukas not knowing what he wants to do, so the ever volcanic Jim Jefferies might have some shuffling to do on top of his usual ranting. Of course, everyone at TCS is familiar with Ian Black and his possible match up opposite Lee Cox is one to savour. As TB says; "It will be nice to see Ian Black come back. He did very well for us, even although we still went down. He showed a great attitude, so it will be great to see him. I just hope he doesn't do what Dougie Imrie did and score against us!" Quite. Hearts are a strong side, have top 3 aspirations. Two draws, one loss and one win suggests that they will be dangerous, even if their new away strip makes them look like Coventry (sorry Gringo)

ICT have a similar patchy start, with two losses, one draw and one win so there’s not much in it. Saturday sees the return of Stuart Duff from seagull city, and Kevin McCann should return from injury at full back. However, Kenny Gillet is set to see a specialist about his knee after sustaining an injury at Hibs on Saturday, and Danni Sanchez hopes to shake off a knock in time (knee) What is it with this team and knees? It’s still too early for that other notable knee, Foran and the odd calf out, Gil Blumenshtein.

Recent history suggests Hearts are dominant. 16 fixtures have resulted in 9 Jambo wins, 4 draws and 3 ICT wins. None of the results have ever been runaway, so a close game might be in the offing. 3-2, 1-0, even Sky’s comparometer has a hard time separating them.

Davie reckons 1-0 Caleyjags. Adam Rooney to score again. You heard it here first………………..
