Hopefully we will make it a lot more difficult for them than we did in last season's matches against them.[LNB]"It is not a bad marker for the rest of the season. Then straight after that we've got another tough one and it could be argued that facing Inverness is the most awkward away trip in the SPL outside the Old Firm."
