Inverness Caley Thistle return to the scene where they started a 17-game unbeaten run that led them from the lower half to the top of Division One.Caley Thistle, now seven points ahead of long-time pacesetters Dundee, began that run with a 1-1 draw with Queen of the South at Palmerston on 5 December.
Manager Terry Butcher said: "Ironically the last match there was a hard-fought match with two men sent off.
"I was sent to the stand as well, but that was the start in some respects."
Caley Thistle go into the game seeking a sixth consecutive victory that would take them another enormous step closer to bouncing straight back up to the Scottish Premier League.
A positive result would also take them to the landmark of going through half the 36-game Division One programme without loss.
"It looked as if we were going to get three points with the nine men but had to settle for the one," said Butcher of his side's last visit to Dumfries.
"It's nice to go back there and try and keep 11 men on the pitch and try to build on that one point, but we know how hard this game will be.
"Every game now is hard. This game will be harder than the previous one and Dunfermline at home next week will be even harder still.
"We know what it's like, but I think we're enjoying it."
Butcher's Irish trio of Adam Rooney, Johnny Hayes and Richie Foran continue to be the backbone of their run of success and the Inverness manager, who has everyone available for selection, is not over concerned about having the leading teams still to play after Queens in their final four games.
"We've now got to play Dunfermline and we've got to play Dundee and Ayr United as well in our final four games," he said.
"That's three out of the top five that we've got to face, but I think in some respects that's good for us because, in the last two matches, we've struggled a bit against Raith Rovers at home and Morton away," he said.
"But, prior to that, we'd done well against Ross County, but I think it's one of these situations where I think the game takes care of itself in terms of mental preparation."
