History of the Aberdeen v Inverness Caledonian Thistle fixture

Inverness CT face a trip to Aberdeen at Pittodrie Stadium on Saturday afternoon, looking to break their duck against the hosts. While the majority of previous matches have ended up drawn, a win has yet to be registered by Caley Thistle.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in December 2005, when they played out a goalless draw in a Scottish Premier match.
