1242: Novo spots Esson miles off his line and launches an audacious 50-yard lob that soars narrowly over the Inverness keeper's bar.
1240: Mendes releases Novo down the left flank and the little Spaniard gambols past Ross Tokely but his cross into the box is powder-puff and the ball is hoofed clear of danger.
1237: The home side awake from their new year hangover and spring to life. Vigurs is thwarted by Weir as he bursts into the Rangers box. Better stuff from Caley Thistle.
1235: Neat play from Ferguson and Miller. The latter whips a great first-time ball through to strike-partner Kris Boyd but it narrowly eludes him and Ryan Esson collects easily.
1233: "Am I seeing this right? Novo has a start over Charlie Adams. Is Walter Smith feeling ok. A smile on my face today then? I hope we manage to win today given the paranoid clan managed to drop two points yesterday. Boyd & Miller need to click early doors and settle the team. I bet it's a cold one, good luck lads make my day." BahrainBEAR on My Sport Join the debate
Don't adjust your goggles; your eyes are not deceiving you.
1232: What sort of reception will the home fans give their midfielder Ian Black, who is off to Tynecastle in the summer?
1231: Rangers have come out of the blocks like Usain Bolt.
1230: And we're off!
1228: The teams are on the pitch. Caley Thistle are looking to arrest a horrible slide: they've lost their last five games. Only fellow-teuchters Elgin City have a worse home record in British senior football.
1226: "A very scrappy 1-0 Rangers win today with Boyd scoring from a set piece midway through the second half." govanwest on My Sport Join the debate
1224: The natives are rather restless in the Highlands. Some Inverness fans have unfurled a 'Brewster Out' banner. The Inverness boss will be feeling the heat even more if his side fail to get something out of this game.
1222: "As long as Rangers score first we will win with ease. If we go behind or fail to score early doors we will drop points as out away form has showed this season." TheRealWYP on My Sport Join the debate
1219: "A potentially tricky game for the Gers but one we SHOULD win and one we basically have to win. Seems Bougherra and Novo are back in the team." Boogie Bear on My Sport Join the debate
They are indeed back. You're spot on: Rangers SHOULD win but they've stuttered on the road all season and desperate Caley Thistle will be like a cornered dog, fighting for their SPL survival.
1216: Charlie Adam and Steven Whittaker drop out of the Rangers side. Both were dreadful in the Old Firm defeat last weekend. Adam doesn't even make the bench. Makes a mockery of picking him for the Celtic game. I don't know about you guys out there but I think the former (on-loan at) St Mirren man is proper mince?
1213: Does Bougherra's appearance slightly quash the growing speculation that he's heading south during the January transfer window? Join the debate
1212: Inverness make two changes: Hearts-bound Ian Black returns to midfield after missing last week's game through flu. Iain Vigurs also returns. Garry Wood and Dougie Imrie drop to the bench.
1211: Rangers have won their last five games against Caley Thistle, including a 5-0 thrashing of Craig Brewster's side back in November.
1208: Early team news from the wintry north: Madjid Bougherra and Nacho Novo are in the Rangers starting line-up.
1205: Good afternoon, all. Looks like it will be, um, "fresh" in the Highlands this afternoon, where Inverness Caley Thistle will be desperate to move off the bottom of the Clydesdale Bank Premier League.
A win for Craig Brewster's troops will lift them to 10th position in the league.
