  2. Caley Thistle's County conundrumpublished at 19:27 British Summer Time 2 April 2021

    Ross County v Inverness CT (19:45)

    The two rivals haven't met since April 2019 but that may be seen as a positive in the Caley Thistle corridors as that game in April was an eighth league derby without defeat for County.

    Inverness last beat Ross County over 90 minutes in March 2016 but did win the latter of those two Scottish Cup derbies in 2019 on penalties.

    They could repeat that trick tonight as if the scores are level tonight we go to extra time and then penalites.
