Inverness Caley v Saints Preview

Last updated : 30 January 2004 By Stuart Gillespie
That's sarcasm incase you didn't know. We hate playing Caley, they usually hammer four past us, especially up north. John Coughlin and Tom Hendrie hate them too; both their Saints managerial careers have been finished by 4-0 defeats by Caley at Love Street.

Tomorrow is the first time in a long time a Saints team will have taken on a Caley side without their managers job in threat. November 2001 would be the last time I think. For this, Gus MacPherson has an almost full squad! No, that is not a misprint, almost everyone is fit! Only long term injury victims Kevin "Toothache" Twaddle, Eddie Annand, David Jack and Laurie Ellis are missing. The bad news is that this means Kevin McGowne is fit. The good news is it means Allan Russell is fit again. With no suspensions, this is probablythe closest to a full squad Gus will have all season.

Paul Ritchie, former trialist, always scores, two hat tricks. Right that's got the Caley stuff out the way.

Can Saints beat Caley for the first time since 2001? If the game's on I reckon we can :-)
