Arbroath vs Inverness Caledonian Thistle – Match Preview
cinch Scottish Championship – Game 21 – Season 2022/2023
Saturday 7th January 2023, Gayfield Park, Arbroath, 3.00pm kick off
Arbroath welcome Billy Dodd’s Inverness Caledonian Thistle to Gayfield tomorrow for our first game at home in 2023.
The two previous meetings between the sides have both been drawn and these fixtures are always tight encounters.
Inverness are without Robbie Deas, Shane Sutherland, Roddy Macgregor, Austin Samuels and Tom Walsh but despite their injuries they demolished Cove Rangers 6-1 last weekend.
This week Billy Dodds has brought in the talented Jay Henderson on loan from St Mirren.
Arbroath will be looking to continue on from last weekend’s performance against Dundee, and have Ryan Dow (Shirt 19) and Steven Hetherington (Shirt 26) added to the squad.
Ricky Little returns to the squad after serving a one-match suspension whilst it is also hoped Dylan Tait will be fit for selection.
We know it will be another incredibly tough test, with the visitors always so resolute in defence and quick on the break but with your support we hope we can get you the result.
