Footymad preview History of the Inverness Caledonian Thistle v Aberdeen fixture

Inverness Caledonian Thistle prepare to entertain Aberdeen at Tulloch Caledonian Stadium at tea-time on Saturday, looking to improve on a dire past record against their opponents. It does not make pleasant reading, winning just 3 of the 16 games played, and losing 9.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Tulloch Caledonian Stadium was less than a year ago, in January 2013, with Inverness Caledonian Thistle running out comfortable 3-0 winners in a Scottish Premiership match.
