It should be a goal.

It's a brilliant block.

Hamilton stands firm and gets it away. Huge block.

A massive block from Jack Hamilton!

Danny Devine does excellently to head a deep corner back across the face of goal back toward the near post, where Austin Samuel pops up with a low strike that can't squeeze past Hamilton.

A big parry from outstretched goalkeeper Kevin Dabrowski keeps out Cammy Harper's subsequent curling effort.

Dangerous free-kick chance here for Inverness after Aaron Doran goes down 25 yards from goal.

This looks like Cammy Harper territory...

And, finally, a chance to breathe after that lightning quick start from both sides.

In the last few minutes, both sides have settled slightly when in possession and held the ball for longer than they managed in the opening minutes.

Lewis Vaughan has a promising free-kick opportunity from a wide angle, but the Rovers forward lashes it low into the wall and fails to test Mark Ridgers.

From one end to the other.

A right open game so far.

Good start!

End-to-end start here in Inverness.

Lewis Vaughan has a low strike blocked up one end before the hosts break, which allows Billy Mckay to try his luck from range - although his effort flies wide off the mark.

Rovers goalkeeper Kevin Dabrowski can only punch clear a dangerous, whipped corner as far as Dundee loanee Max Anderson, who mishits his awkward effort.

From the second phase, Billy Mckay has a go with a weak header that is held with ease by Dabrowski.

We are under way in Inverness.

The hosts are in all blue, with the visitors in their yellow-and-blue change kit.

Inverness CT: Ridgers, Carragher, Devine, Boyes, Longstaff, Kerr, Anderson, Doran, Harper, Mckay, Samuel.

Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher is in attendance this evening at Caledonian Stadium to watch his son James start in defence for Inverness.

Raith Rovers manager Ian Murray tells BBC Scotland: “It's really important [to win last games]. It's why the players train as well as they do all week and why we look at opposition and figure out how to hurt them.

"Inverness are a good side. They play good football. It's not just the last two games, it's the way they are playing.

"We know they have two strikers who can score goals in Samuels and Mckay, especially Samuels - which we know all about after he got a hat-trick in nine minutes at Stark's Park."

Inverness CT manager Duncan Ferguson tells BBC Scotland: "It's in our hands. We've got to get a result tonight. We've won two games back-to-back for the first time this season. Can we make it hat-trick tonight?

"We know how good Raith Rovers are. They are the second-best team in the division. It will be a tough one."

Ferguson also touches on comments he made earlier this week over Arbroath "taking the foot off the gas" - which Inverness CT later apologised for.

"I did not want to show any disrespect to Arbroath," he adds. "I must apologise for the words I used certainly."

Wallace Duffy had a niggle, that's why that change was made, but he's fit enough for the bench.

James Carragher has done okay since he came up here. He's dug in and done well.

It's a strong Inverness team.

They have got the second best defensive record in the league, but they've struggled up top. They've shored up at the back and that could be crucial in the run-in.

No. But Dundee United fans will still be watching tonight’s game very closely.

Should Rovers lose or draw this evening and United better their title rivals' result when they play Ayr United at Tannadice tomorrow, Jim Goodwin’s side will be confirmed champions.

A win for Ian Murray’s side in Inverness means there will be no Championship winner mathematically secured for at least another weekend.

One year ago yesterday, Inverness picked up a sixth consecutive league win while preparing for a Scottish Cup semi-final.

Present day, they have failed to win more than two games in a row all season and the relegation play-offs remain a very real threat.

Frankly, it could be going better for the Highland side.

Six crucial points accrued in narrow successes over bottom side Arbroath and fellow strugglers Queen’s Park has eased the pressure on Duncan Ferguson’s men, however.

Another victory this evening would secure that elusive third consecutive win, as well as lift the Caley Jags above Greenock Morton into seventh place.

Ian Murray makes three changes to his starting XI after last weekend’s goalless draw with Partick Thistle at Stark’s Park.

Lewis Vaughan and Jack Hamilton both return in attack. The pair replace fellow striker Zak Rudden and loanee midfielder Kyle Turner in the starting line-up, as the latter misses out entirely.

The third and final change comes in defence, as Dylan Corr takes Keith Watson’s spot in the centre of defence.
