What they're saying

"
Inverness Caledonian Thistle midfielder Graeme Shinnie says they need to harness the positivity from the start of their campaign going in to Sunday's Premier Sports Cup last 16 trip to Hearts. The Caley Jags finished top of their group in the competition, one which included Premiership side St Johnstone, who they defeated 1-0. "We are well aware of what they are and what they've got but it's a game for us to try and nullify what they've got as much as we can, and try and knock them off their rhythm," Shinnie said.
