Inverness CT's away form is none too clever either, with 3 victories and just 1 loss from the last six. The games have constituted a decent return of 10 goals for the Caley Thistle, and 5 goals against.

Dunfermline A. are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 27 points from 33 matches. Inverness CT see themselves just below half way in the Bank of Scotland Scottish Premier, showing a record of 42 points from their 33 games played so far,
