Inverness manager Terry Butcher has challenged his players to use tomorrow's visit of Dunfermline to prove their top-six credentials.

The Highlanders are four points from the top half and have only lost to Celtic in their last eight matches. Now Butcher wants his team to force themselves into contention during the final eight games.

Butcher said: "Anything is possible.

"We're in 10th position now and if we can get on a good run and get back to what we were doing before the Celtic games, which I'm confident we can do, then we'll certainly have a go."

The meeting with the Pars will be the fifth of the season, with three previous high-scoring draws and a 3-1 victory in the replay of the Scottish Cup. Butcher expects more excitement in tomorrow's fixture.

He continued: "There's plenty of goals and plenty of action and plenty of mistakes.

"We want to make as few mistakes as possible and score more goals than them."

The Inverness boss saw enough in last weekend's defeat to Rangers to know that the Pars will be a dangerous opponent.

"They certainly did okay last week when they went 1-0 up against Rangers and hit the post," Butcher said.

"They'll be fighting and scrapping like they normally do but we have got our own agenda. We're not looking down - we're looking up.

"We want to claw teams back to us, climb above them and give ourselves a lift for the Rangers match and finish off the seven games with a bang."
