Butcher: Focuses on Caley

Ally McCoist brings his cash-strapped side to the Highland capital on Sunday for the Sky Live clash, when Butcher will be saving any words of comfort until after the final whistle.

Caley Thistle are within five points of Kilmarnock, currently in sixth, but Dundee United, Aberdeen and St Mirren are also in the hunt forn a top-half finish.

"We have to pull our fingers out and get going if we want to finish in the top six, it's always been dog-eat-dog in the SPL but we have seven matches before the split so it's tight," Butcher told The Courier.

"If we get on run now and finish in style we could well get there. It starts against Rangers and they are a good side no matter what state they are in, but we have our own agenda and that is to get three points.

"These are troubled times at Ibrox but that is their concern and we can't be bothered about that because we have to do our professional best to win.

"I've been there before as manager of Motherwell and no one had sympathy for us when it came to matches.

"I don't think Rangers will expect any sympathy and they certainly won't get any from us when it comes to the game but obviously after the match, certainly."

r. Miller, I'd far rather be left with the lingering thought of What if...? as opposed to the very much confirmed Dear God, Gervinho is p**s in white knickers!

Why RvP Leaving Isn't The End Of Days

here has only been 3 players who made me hold my breath in dread when they picked the ball up anywhere near our penalty area...in their prime Scholes and Giggs... and always Drogba. Awesome player who on his day was the best striker in the world in my opinion.

remember him scoring a 25-yarder, either the season just gone or the one before, against Bolton at the Reebok. I've never seen a ball hit that hard before in my entire life. You could almost feel the shockwave from his foot contacting it 40 yards away in the stands. Didier Droga. You might not have loved him, but you just had to be in awe of him.
