INVERNESS Caledonian Thistle defender Ross Millen has paid tribute to the amount of away supporters who will be travelling to East Fife tomorrow cheering them on as they aim to become League One champions.

Caley Thistle have sold out their away allocation of 750 tickets at MGM Timber Bayview Park for Saturday’s clash which could see them secure the title and promotion back to the Championship.
Inverness are four points clear at the top of the table with two matches remaining in the campaign. Victory tomorrow will guarantee Inverness the title, but also matching Stenhousemuir’s result at Alloa Athletic will secure top spot.
Millen says the team appreciate the backing they have received not just for tomorrow’s game, but all season, and will look to repay their support by becoming champions tomorrow.
He said: “Our fans have sold out their allocation, which is great.
“They’re great at home, but especially away from home, when you consider the journeys. It should be a really good day.
“I don’t think too much about the fans coming for a party.
“Maybe because I’m older now, I just think about the 90 minutes of the game.
“Everything else will take care of itself, but the most important thing is we need to try and win the game.
“Anything after that is great, but I can’t think of that too much right now.”

Inverness defeated Kelty Hearts 1-0 last week to move within touching distance of becoming champions.
He says that they will look to keep their emotions in check and not let the significance of the result get the better of them during the match.
He said: “When I was a young boy at Dunfermline, I watched them win the league and it was unbelievable at a sold-out East End Park.
“When I look back, it’s nice to have been part of it this way, being more in control of your own destiny.
“It should, hopefully, be a good day.
“We can only control what we can control on Saturday.
“Stenhousemuir have been great and we need to give them credit, and it’s definitely not over yet.
“It’s good that it’s in our hands, but the most important thing is East Fife on Saturday.“
