Inverness Caledonian Thistle v East Fife – Preview by Oli Anderson
Sarens PSG Stadium | 
Saturday 7th February | 🕒 Kick-off: 3:00pm
⚔️ The Challenge Ahead
Another defeat last weekend for East Fife makes it seven on the trot for the Fifers. Today’s fixture will be yet another tricky one, as we make the trek to the highlands to play inverness Caledonian Thistle. ICT drew with Queen of the South last weekend, and before that are unbeaten in 90 minutes since December by last week’s opposition Montrose.
The new signings looked sharp and hopefully with another week of training we can see their full potential.
