Inverness CT visit Cappielow. Morton are fifth in the Championship with 43 points. ICT are sixth with 39.

So far this season Morton have 2 wins and a draw against ICT and have outscored them 7 goals to 2. Muirhead and Gillespie each have 2 goals against the Caledonian Thistle. In previous years ICT have never failed to beat Morton at least once.

ICT have scored 40 goals to Morton's 41 and have allowed 41 to Morton's 35. ICT's top scorer is Billy Mckay with 12 goals. He has one goal against Morton.

2022-23 is shaping up to be ICT's poorest season since 2001-02. That year they finished 6th in the First Division with 48 points. But they beat Partick Thistle last weekend, a big win for them and Morton both.

They're skint.

[Morton 1 - 2 ICT. Morton goal by Gillespie. Morton cannot finish in tenth place.]
