Caley Thistle's recent form makes for bleak reading.
Along with Raith Rovers, they share the title of the worst-form team over the last 10 games in the league.
It's 10 games without a win for Billy Dodds' side, but they did pick up a point away to Hamilton Academical last Friday.

Partick Thistle haven't won a game since 1 February but have only been defeated in the league once - 1-0 by Greenock Morton - in that period.
They picked up a valuable point at Gayfield on Tuesday against league leaders Arbroath to take them level with Raith Rovers on 39 points and within one of tonight's opponents.

Partick Thistle v Inverness Caledonian Thistle (19:45)
Tonight is the fourth meeting of the season between the sides – and the second in just over three weeks.
In the last two encounters, the points were shared, but back in September, Inverness claimed maximum points despite going behind in the first half to a Scott Tiffoney goal. Kirk Broadfoot pulled the hosts back level before Shane Sutherland and Aaron Doran completed the comeback.
When the pair met last at Firhill, Jamie Sneddon saved Doran's penalty to ensure a stalemate. Caley thistle slipped from top spot that afternoon as Kilmarnock put four past Queen of the South.
However, the match a matter of 23 days ago was a thriller. Brian Graham scored a hat-trick for the Glasgow side, netting twice in the first half before sealing his treble with a second-half penalty. Billy Mckay and Sutherland clawed Inverness back on both occasions, before Broadfoot headed in a 94th-minute equaliser.
