Dodds wants Caley Thistle fans to pump up the volume

BILLY DODDS is asking Caley Thistle’s fans to crank up the volume all over again after playing a big part in the two-leg triumph over Partick Thistle. The traditionally quiet Caledonian Stadium faithful has been louder this season since a growing band of young fans took up residence in the west stand. The Inverness boss knows he will need them behind the team tonight in the first leg of the play-off semi-final against Arbroath as both clubs continue their bid to reach the Premiership. Dodds said: ‘The supporters are getting behind this promotion bid and they are getting noisier. They are turning up in their numbers and we need a push again. ‘We have got ourselves playing well and we need the fans to turn up to support us.’

Kick-off: 7.05pm, Caledonian Stadium. TV: LIVE on BBC Scotland. Referee: Euan Anderson.
