Josh Meekings has denied Inverness are dirty despite their poor SPL disciplinary record so far this season. Owain Tudur Jones will begin his three-game suspension instead of being available for today's away game against Hibs after being sent off for the second time this season during last weekend's 1-1 draw with Aberdeen. Inverness have the highest tally of yellow cards in the league with 17 in six games while Richie Foran has also seen a red card. However, Meekings insists their crime count does not tell the full story. He said: "People can say what they want outside the club, we know we are not a dirty team. We just play the game. We don't want to let anyone get on top of us and unfortunately there has been a few occasions when maybe luck hasn't gone our way or it looks a bad challenge when perhaps it's not, it's just a bit of a late challenge. We have just got to ignore that talk from the outside and keep working as hard as we are."
Meekings is set to continue at centre-back at Easter Road after regaining his place in the team in recent weeks. The Englishman has a chance to stake a regular place with fellow defender Simon King ruled out for eight weeks with a chipped bone in his ankle. Meekings said: "I came on as a sub in the first few games. Now I'm in the team at centre-back and I'm very happy. I just want to get a clean sheet and a win, like all the lads, and really kick on and make something of the season."
