History of the Inverness Caledonian Thistle v Dundee fixture

Inverness CT play host to Dundee at Tulloch Caledonian Stadium on Saturday afternoon, aiming to preserve their record of never having lost at home to the visitors. The Caley Thistle have drawn both of the previous games against their opponents, however.

The last time the two teams met at Inverness CT was just over four years ago, in April 2005, as the Caley Thistle squeezed past their rivals by a scoreline of 3-2 in a Scottish Premier match.
