ICT Preview

Written by B&W Army Webteam.

The saints faithful will gather tomorrow to pay homage to their number 7 midfield hero Hugh Murray as he bids farewell to the club in his last home appearance before leaving in the summer.

Shuggy is sure to either start the game or make an appearance as a sub as the fans get the chance to say goodbye to the clubs record appearance holder after a 15 year stint in the stripes that has seen him take in every high and low in the St.Mirren rollercoaster.

With back to back wins already this week the buddies can continue to motor on towards an ever higher finish in the SPL and three points tomorrow would enhance our chances of improving further yet on our current position of 8th in the table.
 



Marc McAusland returns to the squad and could replace Lee Mair who picked up a calf knock in midweek whilst Jonny Hayes, who could yet be a summer transfer target for Danny Lennon, returns to the ICT side after missing Wednesdays draw with Dunfermline having been sent off against Kilmarnock last weekend.

Should be a bright, open game of football so get yourself down to St.Mirren Park and say goodbye to Shuggy :-(

OPTA Match Facts
 
  • The Saints have won just one of their last nine SPL meetings with Inverness (D2 L6).
  • St Mirren have only picked up one point from their last four league games at home to Caley Thistle.
  • The Buddies are unbeaten in three at home in the league, their best run in over two years (April 2010).
  • Steven Thompson has scored five goals in his last three league appearances at St Mirren Park.
  • Caley Thistle have won only one of their last six on the road in the league.
  • St Mirren have won back-to-back league matches. They have not won three in a row since December 2008.
  • Inverness have won only one of their last 13 league games (D5 L7).

Divs Prediction
With two wins already recorded this week the buddies will be keen to put on a show in their last home match of the season and whilst our record against Caley is rubbish it has to change sometime ! Surely Dougie Imrie will get his goal this week, it's written in the stars I tell ye !

I'll go for 2-0 Saints with Imrie and Thompson getting the goals.

Papac is leaving the bankrupt team in the summer. Loves Scotland (as mentioned before) and dosen't use an agent. OK he is 32, but I hope lennon picks up the phone and has a wee chat and offers a 1 year deal.

He would add experience and a little quality to a pretty fragile back line.

I hope we see a bit of quality added to the defence. A back 4 of Barron, Mc Gregor, Papac, Tess...sounds a lot better to me than Van Z, Mair, McAus and Carey. Top 6 with a stronger defence and one that dosen't panic when it has the ball!
