Inverness have clinched promotion following Dundee`s defeat to the Rovers on Wednesday night. The Pars are six points behind Dundee with just two matches to go but they will be trying to finish above third placed Queen of the South who are only two points ahead. Morton have been drawn into the relegation battle. They are only three points ahead of Ayr and five ahead of Airdrie so points will be very much on their mind..
