Cup Final Worries For Dundee

Dundee Manager Jocky Scott's squad is looking stretched ahead of today's ALBA Challenge Cup final against Inverness Caledonian Thistle. He is still not sure what side will step out onto the MacDiarmid Park pitch as he has a number of injury worries to contend with. Striker Leigh Griffiths is still feeling a kick picked up while on Scotland duty at the weekend. However, Chris Casement, who was also away on international duty, is back in contention. The Dens Park long term injury list includes David Cowan, Maros Klimpl, Craig McKeown and goalkeeper Tony Bullock. Despite having so many unavailable, Scott could be boosted by the return of midfielder Brian Kerr from an ankle knock picked up against Airdrie.

Inverness Caledonian Thistle manager Terry Butcher is delaying naming his team after being impressed by the attitude of his players in training. Butcher has named the same starting 11 for the last two league games - against Ross County and Airdrie United - but is pondering his options on whether to make changes. Butcher, who has no fresh injury problems, said: "Training has been very good and we have some hungry players desperate to be in the cup final squad."
