Proctor targets Kilmarnock scalp

19 January 2010 15:09
Caley Thistle provided the first major shock of this season's competition by beating Craig Brown's side 2-0 in last night's rearranged fourth-round tie.[LNB]Their reward is a last-16 clash at Kilmarnock next month, and full-back Proctor insists his side are more than capable of upsetting the odds once more.[LNB]"It's SPL opposition again but we'll go into the game with absolutely no pressure on us," he said.[LNB]"We'll be going there looking to get the victory.[LNB]"They will be favourites given they play in a higher league than us but I don't think there is a lot between the teams at the bottom of the Premier League and the top sides in the First Division.[LNB]"There's no doubt it will be a difficult game.[LNB]"However, we'll be looking forward to it and, after beating Motherwell, we want to try and make it into the next round by also beating Kilmarnock."[LNB]Former Dundee United man Proctor, who is in his second spell at Inverness, thinks last night's result will have a big effect on the club's season.[LNB]"There's no doubt this is a huge confidence boost for us," he said. "That's five games we are unbeaten in now and we definitely feel we're capable of putting a longer unbeaten run together.[LNB]"We've beaten an SPL side in Motherwell and, not only that, we've done it quite comfortably, so there's no reason why we can't do it against any team in the First Division."[LNB]Relegated from the SPL last season, Inverness are 15 points behind runaway First Division leaders Dundee, albeit with two games in hand.[LNB]Their next fixture is Saturday's slightly less glamorous trip to struggling Airdrie.[LNB]Proctor said: "It's important that we go down to Airdrie and put on the same type of performance as we did against Motherwell.[LNB]"We have to take the game to them and make sure we produce the same commitment and passion.[LNB]"We really imposed ourselves on Motherwell and that is something we must also do against Airdrie.[LNB]"If we can do that and keep this form going from now until the end of the season then I'm sure we will win a lot more than we lose."[LNB]Last night's victory came courtesy of goals from Nauris Bulvitis and Dougie Imrie.[LNB]Motherwell had a lot of the ball and also had chances to score, but Proctor said: "I think we thoroughly deserved to win it.[LNB]"I thought we looked quite comfortable at times and we got ourselves into a number of good positions to score.[LNB]"At times, we had Motherwell on the back foot and in the final third I felt we caused them some real problems.[LNB]"Motherwell probably had a bit more of the ball than we did and they made plenty of passes but we always felt comfortable at the back and it was great to get another clean sheet."[LNB][LNB]
