History of the Inverness Caledonian Thistle v Rangers fixture

Inverness CT prepare to entertain Rangers at Tulloch Caledonian Stadium at lunchtime on Sunday, determined to stop the rot against their opponents, having lost out to their rivals on 4 of the previous 6 occasions.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Tulloch Caledonian Stadium was less than a year ago, in January 2008, with Rangers inflicting a narrow 0-1 defeat upon the Caley Thistle in a Scottish Premier match.

Recent respective form guides

Inverness Caledonian Thistle's home form is most definitely relegation standard, collecting just 1 solitary point from the last six. While Caley Thistle have scored 4, a worringly large 12 have been leaked at the other end.

Rangers's away form is none too clever either, with two wins, two draws, and two defeats. The games have constituted a decent return of 10 goals for the The Gers, and 6 goals against.

Inverness CT are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 17 points from 20 matches. Rangers sit in a healthy 2nd in the league, and have picked up 43 points from their 20 games.
