Footymad preview History of the Inverness Caledonian Thistle v Aberdeen fixture

Inverness Caledonian Thistle prepare to entertain Aberdeen at Caledonian Stadium on Saturday afternoon, looking to improve on a dire past record against their opponents. It does not make pleasant reading, winning just 2 of the 14 games played, and losing 9.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Caledonian Stadium was less than a year ago, in April 2012, as the visitors ran out cosy 0-2 winners in a Scottish Premier match.
