It'll be interesting to see how Hughes approaches this game. The last two outings we've gone with a kind of 4-6-0 formation with no out and out striker, but that was against the two best sides in the league. It's worked pretty well and we beat Aberdeen and gave a good performance at Celtic Park.

We don't really have the squad to make changes so it's really a matter of who plays where. I'm not sure if Raven is still out but assuming he is we'll go with Tremarco, Devine, Warren and Horner at the back then a midfield of Tansey, Vigurs, Draper and Polworth with Roberts and Storey ahead of them. We played Roberts and Storey wide rather than through the middle with breaking midfidlers often our most advanced player. We've dominated possession with this - having four central midfielders in a compressed area will let you do this and relied on breaking at pace or using Roberts and Storey to press the opposition up the pitch. Roberts in particular looks like he is good at pressing and offers a real threat. Storey has worked hard but hasn't scored in seven matches and is maybe running a little low on confidence.

A must-win game if we're to finish in the top 6, IMO. Especially with a tricky March to come.

We've had a decent run of form lately, so hopefully we can keep it going. Team picks itself.

Our form has indeed been decent:

" A must win game" in the words of Biggie during our championship winning era.

A win here will go a long way to securing top 6, then we'll be 90 minutes away from Hampden the following week. Rise Dundee FC.

Thank you.

Correct. Thank you.

Andrew Dallas taking charge of the game this weekend.

I'm sure he was in charge in the first game against ICT after which Hughes lost the plot calling into question Dallas' ability to referee at Premiership level.

Could be interesting?

That's right.

He also had the easiest red card decision he'll ever have to make when Mutombo scythed down Nick Ross soon after we equalised.

The other two dwarf the Celtic match in significance. Infact, i'm not too fussed about that one and fair play to anyone who travels through.

Thank you K.T.

A very good point. If we could get 3 points against ICT and beat The Rangers for a place in the cup semi final that would be beautiful.

Thank you.

Andrew Dallas is a woeful referee. Probably as bad as Colum. That said he got the Mutumbo red card spot on that day. A crazy challenge on probably the least offensive player playing in Scotland.

Inverness looked really good v Celtic at the weekend. Should have been a few up watching the highlights.

If we win this were bound to make top 6. Such a big game. Be nice to get 5k home fans.

1-1 me thinks......... Then Hemmings to score 94th min
