With three games in eight days Falkirk boss John Hughes sees this as an ideal opportunity to move up the league. The Bairns are currently 10th in the SPL and have only two defeats in ten matches.

However, in that run they have failed to record back-to-back league victories.

Hughes said: "The wee frustration is not picking up back-to-back wins.

"But nothing comes easy, you just need to see the results at the weekend to see that everybody outside Celtic and Rangers is capable of beating each other in the SPL, and it will be like that between now and the end of the season.

"Every time we've had the opportunity to move up the league, we just seem to have let it slip out of our grasp.

"But Inverness will be saying exactly the same, they'll be wanting to get a win and pull away as well.

"It's all about what happens on the night and we have to make sure we're ready to go."
