The CIS cup resumes this evening with a number of teams looking to take a step towards securing the first piece of silverware of the season whilst the smaller sides dream of being in the hat when the money spinning Old Firm arrive.
Premier League new boys Inverness play host to Peterhead at the Caledonian Stadium from 7.45pm as Terry Butcher’s men aim to build on their impressive start. A narrow 1-0 defeat at Celtic on the opening day, followed by a surprise 4-0 win over Dundee United at the weekend has taken Caley to fifth in the SPL.
Peterhead haven’t enjoyed the same luxury, losing each of their first three league matches. Confidence is high in the home dressing room and another win at 4/11 (Stan James) makes sense.
Elsewhere and the value about an away win comes in the Highlands where Ross County entertain St Mirren. The Staggies expect big things in their quest for promotion from division one this year and have made an admirable start but should find Premier League opposition a bridge too far at the moment. Paisley boss Danny Lennon will be desperate to secure a confidence boosting win after a 4-0 thumping at the hands of Celtic on Sunday.
The Saints have the better quality of player and should progress at 6/4 (bet365).
