Caley Thistle manager Craig Brewster may keep club captain Grant Munro waiting for a recall to the first team.
The 27-year-old is fit to play for the first time this campaign since Caley Jags’ opening-day win against Aberdeen after recovering from a knee injury.
In his absence 19-year-old Jamie Duff has gradually formed a solid partnership with Phil McGuire in central defence and the Inverness manager may keep the pair together despite Munro’s availability for tomorrow’s home game with St Mirren. He said: “It is not an automatic decision to bring Grant back in, I will make my mind up nearer the time of the game.
“He came through a reserve game on Wednesday and is available and will be in the squad for tomorrow’s game.
“Grant did really well last year and I thought he was excellent in the first game of the season at Aberdeen.
“But he has missed a month and he will come back into contention.
“He has another year under his belt as club captain but I thought Jamie Duff and Phil McGuire did really well two weeks ago against Falkirk.
“It gives everyone confidence and keeps them on their toes.”
Russell Duncan (hamstring) and David Proctor (ankle) will miss the match against the Paisley side but Richard Hastings is set to play despite featuring for Canada in their 2-1 defeat in a World Cup qualifier in Mexico on Wednesday.
Brewster looks set to keep faith in the club’s younger players.
The manager said: “Jamie Duff has done exceptionally well and when you have less experienced players such as him coming through it is always pleasing. In the match at Falkirk we had four outfield players starting the game at 20 years of age or under which is tremendous.
“Now it is up to the younger players to push the experienced players. It acts as a kick-start for the older players as well.
“It has been very pleasing to watch the young players develop and Iain Vigurs has a real talent, it is up to him to focus on what he is good at.
“It is about trying to get over to the players how much it means to do the hard work day in, day out in training and then taking it into games.
“The experienced players know automatically what to do, it is about learning the game for the younger ones.”
