Storey wants winning habit at Caley Thistle

MILES Storey wants to make winning a habit after booking Caley Thistle a place in the Tunnock’s Caramel Wafer Cup Final.

His goal in the second half of Sunday’s 2-1 win against Rangers Colts put Inverness into their fifth final in this competition, which they last won in 2018.

The two occasions they have lifted the trophy – 2003-04 and two years ago – they have enjoyed strong finishes to the season.

They won promotion to the top flight for the first time in 2004 and a lateseason run in 2018 saw them narrowly miss out on making the play-offs.

It would be Storey’s first chance to secure a winner’s medal, too, with victory potentially giving the Caley Jags an important lift ahead of the season’s run-in.

Storey said: “Winning a trophy is winning a trophy – we want to make a habit of winning.

“We won ugly against Livingston last week and we won even more ugly against Rangers.We’ll take that over passing a team off the pitch. We need to win more ways than one.

“I was at Aberdeen for a couple of finals and played about three minutes in one.

“It’ll be good to, hopefully, get out there. I watched the Partick-Raith game and Raith are a good side.

“It won’t be an easy game, just like Sunday wasn’t.”

C a l e y T h i s t l e h av e appealed the red card shown to striker James Keatings in Sunday’s semi-final.

The attacker was sent off by referee Greg Aitken after being shown a second yellow card for simulation despite appearing to have been fouled as he ran into the box.

If successful, Keatings will be free to face Raith Rovers in the final on Saturday, March 28.
