History of the Gretna v Inverness Caledonian Thistle fixture

Inverness CT travel to take on Gretna at Raydale Park on Saturday afternoon, and will hope to continue their unbeaten record at the ground. Caley Thistle won the only previous game contested between the two teams.

The only previous meeting between Gretna and Inverness CT at was just over four years ago, in August 2003, where Inverness CT annihilated the Caley Thistle 0 - 5 in a Scottish Challenge Cup match.

Recent respective form guides

Gretna's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. While Black and Whites have scored 9, a worringly large 13 have been leaked at the other end.

Inverness CT's away form is none too clever either, accumulating just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While the Caley Thistle have hit 5 goals, 12 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Gretna find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 10 games have yielded only 4 points. Inverness CT are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 7 points from 10 matches.
