ONES TO WATCH:
Liam Keogh- The young midfielder has been a great part of Inverness CT's season so far and he is a bright prospect for the future, many fans have tipped him to be young player of the year.

Paul Ritchie- Paul is likely to join Brechin in the summer as he is quitting Inverness at the end of the season, but the experienced striker is the top scorer in all competitions in the first division and has scored many goals against Brechin on the way. He also netted against Dunfermline the Scottish Cup semi final last Saturday and will be gunning for more against Brechin.

BRECHIN CITY VIEW:
Brechin City look down and out and Dick Campbell has admitted they are likely for the drop, but the players want to prove him wrong and stay up, but they also want to finish above Ayr which would be one achievment in a rather poor season.

INVERNESS CT VIEW:
Inverness are coming off the back of a morale boosting draw against SPL opposition Dunfermline on Saturday, Inverness are still chasing for the title and if they win tonight, they will cut the gap to 4 points between themselves and Clyde at the top.

BCR'S PREDICTION:
Inverness Caledonian Thistle are unbeaten in their last six home games, winning five of them, and drawing the other one. In this time, Caley Thistle? have rattled up an impressive 15 goals, and conceded 4.

Brechin City have an average recent record on the road, collecting 1 win and 3 draws from the last six played. While the City have hit 8 goals, 16 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Inverness CT are just outside the promotion places, in 2nd, having taken 54 points from 30 games. Brechin City find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 30 games have yielded only 22 points.

Inverness CT 2-0 Brechin City
