Scottish Premier League - Inverness CT v Rangers betting preview

CALEDONIAN STADIUM, INVERNESS - Inverness Caledonian Thistle take on Rangers on Saturday and are top priced at 8/1 (bet £1 to make £8 profit) with Stan James to record their first win of the season against last season's champions. Rangers are quoted at best odds of 4/9 at Victor Chandler and William Hill. The draw can be backed at best odds of 7/2 with bet365 and Paddy Power.

With Rangers having already dropped points (in the opening game of the season they drew 1-1 at home to Hearts) and Inverness yet to win the match and bottom of the league, both sides have a great incentive to get a result on Saturday.

Both teams have their injury worries with Inverness missing Kenny Gillet, David Proctor, Lee Cox and new signings Billy Mackay and Josh Meekings. Rangers meanwhile will be without Sasa Papac and David Weir, while Steven Whittaker is a doubt with a broken toe.

Nikica Jelavic is fit and is also favourite to open the scoring in the match at best odds of 7/2 with Betfred and Victor Chandler. Steven Naismith can be backed at best odds of 5/1 at Betfred to open the scoring for the away side. Inverness captain Richie Foran is a top priced 12/1 shot at Ladbrokes to give Terry Butcher's side the lead.

In the over/under betting market, over 2.5 goals in the match is top priced at 9/10 with Pinnacle Sports, while under 2.5 is available at best odds of evens with Stan James and Ladbrokes.

Inverness CT are quoted at best odds of 16/1 on Betfair to be leading the match at the half-time and go on to take all three points. Draw/Inverness CT is best priced at 16/1 with bet365 and Boylesports. A victory for Rangers after leading at half-time can be backed at best odds of 11/10 with 888 Sport and Coral, while draw/Rangers is 10/3 with totesport and betinternet.

The match kicks off at 1245 and is live on Sky Sports 2
