Morton and Inverness take centre stage live in front of the BBC Scotland cameras on Friday evening as Dougie Imrie’s side look to claim all three points and continue their unbeaten run.

The Ton are reaping the rewards of a current four match unbeaten run with clean sheets recorded in their last three outings and a victory on Friday evening could see them climb near the summit of the league and could stay their should results go their way on Saturday.

Billy Dodds’ Inverness have won three out of their last five matches and the Highlanders will be looking to make the long trip home from Greenock on Friday with a win under their belt which would see them become league leaders again.
