Hibs Travel To Meet Bogie Team
Inverness could get the home win they are striving for as Hibs have not won in the Highlands for some time. Inverness have midfielder Russell Duncan back ready for action when Hibs come to call. He has recovered from a groin strain and could be in the squad for the game. Other contenders are Gil Blumenshtein (hamstring) and Shane Sutherland (tonsillitis) while Lee Cox is pushing for a start after making a staggered comeback from an ankle problem. But David Proctor, Chris Innes (both hamstring) and Kenny Gillet (knee) are not expected to make the squad and Kevin McCann misses out under the terms of his loan agreement. Stuart Duff insists Caley's disappointing home record is not on their minds ahead of the game. He said: "It would be good if we could get a decent performance, especially after our last home result, getting beat by Motherwell. That was an important match and you saw by the way we reacted by beating Aberdeen and Hamilton that we wanted to bounce back. If we can get more points from our home form then we are in for a good season hopefully. People are going to look at the away form compared with the home form and it's night and day. We just haven't picked up the points but we're not thinking about that.'' Hibs manager Colin Calderwood may utilise Derek Riordan in the game before his suspension for being sent off in the Edinburgh derby. Riordan will miss the game with St Johnstone on 27 November but is free to play at Caley Thistle as Hibs seek a third straight win. Colin Nish (ankle) and Francis Dickoh (cheekbone) are available, but David Wotherspoon (groin/back) is a doubt, while Darryl Duffy (foot), Graham Stack (back) and Merouane Zemmama (knee) are still out. Hibs are looking for a third straight win, but the Edinburgh side are without a win in seven attempts at the Caledonian Stadium. Liam Miller said: "It'll be a really hard game. We need to be a solid unit and go there and score. Hopefully we can do that. Everyone's really positive at the moment. It would be nice to get three on the bounce. It's paying off at the moment. It's about playing as a team together. There's a lot of games left in the league this year and we take it game by game.''
