Dundee United manager Jackie McNamara is looking for improvement when his side welcome Inverness Caledonian Thistle on Wednesday. United have lost their last two league fixtures but McNamara is hopeful his men can get back on track against Caley at Tannadice. He said: "It's good to have the Inverness fixture to look forward to. The games are coming thick and fast at this stage of the season so we have to move forward. We have to forget this one and look towards the next one which is Inverness. We'll obviously be looking for an improvement. We were pretty poor all round to be honest. We can't dwell on it though."
Inverness counterpart John Hughes is delighted with his side's form - they have begun the year by going nine games undefeated - but insists he is not thinking about entering the title race. He said: "Trust me, if there is going to be a challenge to Celtic it is going to come from Dundee United or Aberdeen. We are just a small provincial club up here in the Highlands, possibly punching well above our weight. There are always targets here, individually and collectively. But we are at our best when we have the siege mentality, the underdog mentality. These guys don't get too much praise and they love to prove people wrong and hopefully that will be the case for the rest of the season. We will prepare to give the team the best opportunity to win the match. But we have to be a bit better defensively than we were against Kilmarnock, that's for sure. I was disappointed with the goals we lost. Having scored three goals at home you should win the football match. But I can't be too critical, the boys have been outstanding and we could have won the game. Jackie (McNamara) has done a wonderful job at Dundee United, a real great job. He has a lot of trust and faith in the youths and Tannadice is always a nice venue to go to, so I am looking forward to it."
