Cole says Caley are only focused on themselves

- By CRAIG FORBES

Inverness midfielder Larnell Cole is focused on helping the Highland club get out of their predicamen­t rather than taking advantage of any vulnerabil­ity in Rangers.

Rangers visit the Tulloch Caledonian Stadium tonight looking for their first win in four Ladbrokes Premiershi­p matches and with Graeme Murty still in caretaker charge following the departure of Mark Warburton.

But Caley Thistle – who have twice lost 1-0 to Rangers already this season – have not won in 14 league games and are looking to get off the foot of the table.

Cole said: “Obviously, we know they’re going through a difficult time as well, but we know it is going to be another tough game for us.

“We’ve run them close earlier in the season. Our performanc­e at their ground was good – we did very well. In this one, we will be looking to win the game but also put in another good performanc­e.”

Inverness have shown signs of progress with two consecutiv­e league draws against Dundee and Hearts and onloan Fulham midfielder Cole feels there is further room for improvemen­t.

“I don’t think we’ve made as much as we should have from the opportunit­ies we’ve been creating,” the 23-yearold said. “We can still do better. If that can change, it will be huge for us.

“We’re drawing more and more belief from the games we play and I think the performanc­es have been getting stronger. But a lot of it is about taking our chances.

“The Hearts performanc­e is something to build on. We just have to keep on believing we can get out of this.”
