ICTFC are on the road again tomorrow as they travel to face Alloa at Recreation Park in the Ladbrokes Championship. The Caley Jags will be looking to maintain their unbeaten start to the season and extend their 20 match unbeaten run.

Referee: Mike Roncone Assistants: Graham Chalmers and Andy Taylor

Manager’s Preview: John Robertson

“Alloa have been threatening this season, it is not a surprise to anyone in the Championship. When they first played us they sat in but had chances, we had chances too but Alloa are a threat. They have good guys in the forward areas and defend robustly.”

“They use the size of their pitch to their advantage which we understand, we have trained accordingly this week to counter that. Getting their first win last week will give them massive confidence, Partick Thistle threw everything at them but couldn’t manage to break them down.”

Team News

George Oakley is close to a return but unlikely to play this Saturday. Coll Donaldson serves his one match ban after being sent off against Dundee United.
