Inverness Caley Thistle will be looking for their first win of the season when they host Hamilton Accies.
John Hughes’ side have been hit with a number of injury problems at the start of the season and currently sit 11th in the league, following draws against Partick Thistle and St Johnstone and defeats at the hands of Motherwell and Celtic.
Hamilton go into the match in fifth place, boosted by last week’s impressive 4-0 win over Dundee United.

- Long-term absentees Gary Warren (broken leg), Richie Foran and Dean Brill (both knee) remain out.
Hamilton team news
- Hamilton player-manager Martin Canning is back in training following his recovery from a calf injury but will not be fit for Saturday.
- Danny Redmond has recovered from a knee complaint and played 45 minutes for the under-20s on Tuesday night.
- Midfielder Darren Lyon is back from a knee injury but might have mumps and has been told to stay away from the club in the meantime.
Caley Thistle goalkeeper Owain Fon Williams says
“You would be daft to look to closely at the league table at the minute because it’s still so early.
“We have lost a few players because of injury early on and of course a big one was Gary Warren in the first game of the season, so we’ve had to adapt.
“But we feel we have the right players to fill in. It’s just a matter of adapting to those changes. We’re working on it and we feel things will go our way.”
