The call for improved concussion protocols has been joined by a number of professional ex-footballers. Terry Butcher, who has first-hand experience of getting a serious head injury whilst on the pitch, has said there is nothing “macho” about playing with a head injury. Former England captain Terry Butcher has stepped down as head coach of the Philippines national team without managing a game. Butcher leaves Manila after less than 50 days in charge, having been.

Lock up yer missus
It's time to don the sheepskin coat, get the teacups ready for the half-time rant and settle down in the virtual dugout for a lifetime of agony and ecstasy. The latest version of Championship Manager is upon us, and it is, to be fair, an update of last year's superb edition. But for those whose heads have been buried in the sand, here's a brief recap on the CM phenomenon.
It is now ten years since the game first appeared on the old Commodore Amiga, packed into three floppy disks. Even then, it was an all-consuming management game, with a level of detail and involvement never before seen. CM has since evolved to include more leagues, more information, more statistics and greater tactical control, but even after a decade of updates, at its heart CM remains the same addictive-as-hell game with a cast iron guarantee of hours, days, weeks, months of anguish, tension and sheer enjoyment. The game can become an obsession. You think it at work or in the car, wondering if Michael Bridges can cut it at the top level or just how long can Teddy Sheringham compete in Premiership ('no' and 'two seasons maximum' are the answers).
CM is also a breaker of homes - just ask my missus after she hasn't heard from me for six hours and another essential DIY project is left undone for another weekend. This is because CM is the nearest I will ever get to emulating Sir Alex, Martin O'Neill and even, because I am a glutton for punishment, Barry Fry.
Bestest
So we've established Sports Interactive's title is the greatest management sim ever, and for many, the greatest PC game ever. But what about the nuts and bolts - how do you turn Southend United into Real Madrid? How do you keep Doug Ellis happy without spending any cash?
Well, you take over a team (from any one of about 20 countries), pick a squad, train them, select a tactical system that works and then pick the side and watch them play - in an exciting, text-only way of course.
To complicate matters there are injuries, transfers, money matters, player contracts, demanding chairmen, demanding fans, demanding players and their evil agents, the media poking their noses in, the FA and of course other managers, like Sir Alex, tapping up your best players. If you need to know any more about the nuts and bolts, we'd suggest you check out the review of CM 00/01 (or even the original Championship Manager 3 release) - after all, this is essentially the same game with a few add-ons.
So, what's new?
What the already initiated among you will want to know is what's changed since last time. The most obvious is the new player database. Well, it's only about three weeks behind - Stam has been kicked out of United, Dean Richards is at Spurs, but Peter Taylor has not been sacked by Leicester yet. Foxes fans need not fret, however, as the database editor allows every statto/saddo to keep their files up to date, and for the rest, the first few updates should be available on the Internet shortly.
As well as the database being up to date, so is the transfer system - a few weeks into the first season, a new UEFA directive, which is far too complicated to go into here, comes into force. There are wordy, on-screen explanations, but basically there is less of the Bosman free-for-all approach to transfers and smaller clubs are more likely to be financially compensated for the loss of a key player.
The teams are represented in almost too much detail - take over Manchester United, Inter, Bayern Munich or Real Madrid and the board will want the Champions League, but you'll have pots of cash. Celtic or Rangers want the Premier League and a good show in Europe. The chairmen on the middle ranking side (like Spurs, Aston Villa or Newcastle) will want a UEFA Cup place, but you'll have a limited transfer fund and really need to sell to get any quality in.
Anything lower and the quest becomes survival with very limited funds, and more often than not, a huge debt that needs to be cleared before any new players can be bought - only 35-year-old pros or teenage hopefuls are usually available for free. The point is it now seems harder than ever to get a team to rise above itself and outperform its initial 2001/02 standings - I should know as I got Spurs into the Inter Toto Cup in my first year but still got the sack.
Manager might
That brings me on to the first main modification - manager power. Fed up of chairmen giving you the brush-off? 'There's no money available,' they used to say. 'You run the team and we'll sort out the cash,' they patronisingly offered. Well, now you can deliver a 'back me or sack me' ultimatum. And in an eerie echo of the George Graham sacking, I demanded Spurs to put their short arms into their deep pockets to fund our Inter Toto campaign - and was dumped on the spot. Thankfully, I was rescued from the jobseekers queue by a plum job at Chesterfield.
A similar feature allows you to appeal to the FA against a sending off - do it once and you might get a key player's ban reduced. Do it too often and you'll get a reputation as a whinger and never be taken seriously again.
The optional attribute-masking mode is a great addition, which sometimes prevents you getting a full run-down of a player's abilities. You might know if he's a good header of the ball, but his determination, work-rate and stamina will be a mystery, until your scouts have had a good look at him. The football world is packed with examples of players who were not scouted properly and came a cropper - remember Savo Milosevic of who Aston Villa manager had only seen a compilation video of him in action. And there was the embarrassing matter of the new 'George Weah' picked by Graham Souness at Southampton who had to be pulled off after five minutes because he quite clearly hadn't a clue. The same applies now - scout the players first, then buy.
You can also have the scouts watch your next opposition. Do this and in the run-up to each match you get an automatic run-down on the other side - their preferred formation, how they play and who the key players are. Being told that Michael Owen is out injured is a big help.
Comparing two players side-by-side on screen to see who's best is also possible now. Some might find this useful, but after a few comparisons, we didn't really bother with it and would not miss it. Likewise the new memo system, which allows managers to put reminders on a players file, such as to renew a contract or look at a transfer prospect. The only modification we have yet to come across in our first three seasons is to send a player away for surgery on recurring injuries. Despite having a sicknote Anderton in and out of my team, my physio never once suggested he go away for this miracle cure.
The good and bad
As you can see, there are some great and some not so great little add-ons and improvements, but they are just that - little add-ons. In reality, this could be delivered as a patch for the CM00/01 edition; player updates are freely available on the web anyway and while the ultimatum, scouting and attribute-masking features improve the game, you can live without the other tweaks. At least they take nothing away from the previous incarnation.
As a stand-alone game, this is CM and superb as always. But there really is little reason to pay another £20-£25 for this if you already own CM00/01. However, as the game is so damned addictive and has a large following, we doubt Eidos or Sports Interactive will have any trouble shifting these by the barrowful. [Not to be accused of stating the obvious, this last line was written shortly before the companies' October 16 announcement that CM 01/02 has become the UK's fastest selling PC game of all time. - Ed]

downloads... installs... runs fine... then tells me there's insufficient memory! is there a way around this??
Jamie Redknapp2020-03-253 points
The best game ever made! The virus lockdown means that myself, Teddy Sheringham and Darren Anderton have started playing a network game together. Teddy and Darren were fighting over who is going to manage Tottenham but Darren pulled his hamstring running to answer the front door so he had to settle for Portsmouth. I'm Liverpool of course but I had to go on holiday for a month to film a TV advert for TUI. Let's hope they don't go bust like Thomas Cook or travel agents will think I'm a curse!

I've downloaded Championship Manager 01/02... how do I bypass the lack of a CD... I've also downloaded the MagicISO program, but no luck... there doesn't seem to be an .ISO file... Please help
Glenn Hoddle2018-07-2710 points
Still the best football management simulation around! Me and Johan Cruyff still play this game today, with me being Spurs and him being Ajax. I still refuse to sign Paul Gascoigne though, even if Mystic Meg advises me to.
Paul Parker2018-07-278 points
Still love this game - it's never been bettered. Me, Des Walker and Steve Bull all go round Des's at least one a week for a network game (Bullie insists on bringing and playing on his own computer as it's the only one he's ever had & be doesn't trust anyone elses.)
It's brilliant, but they're always winding me up, telling me every goal scored against me was a deflection off my own boot. Bastads!
Steve Bull2018-07-274 points
Championship Manager 01/02 is still the best, way better than anything before or since. Me, Des Walker and Paul Parker like to have a network game at least once a week. Des is always Forest, Paul is QPR & I'm always Wolves.
We sometimes wind up Paul when he's not watching, & tell him that the commentary had just said that there's been a goal scored against him, coming off a deflection from his own boot, haha.
Terry Butcher2018-07-274 points
This is the best football management game ever. Me and Peter Shilton & Stuart Pearce still play this today, every Sunday. We all go round Shilt's house to play, as he's getting on a bit & doesn't really understand what to click on etc, so we help him out.
I'm always Ipswich, Pearcy is Forest, & Shilts is Leicester. Pearcy always brings some of his home-made fairy cakes, which is nice.
Gary Lineker2018-07-272 points
Brilliant game! I still play this today!
David Platt2018-07-270 point
This is the best footie management game, to this day! I still play this with Gary Lineker sometimes, network game, when he's not playing with Barnsey, Waddle & Beardsley. He's not keen on playing with them, so sometimes he tells them he's tired after Match Of The Day the night before, & we have a game. We like to play abroad & accustom ourselves with the different styles of play in different countries.
Peter Beardsley2018-07-271 point
This is the best footie game ever. Me, Chris Waddle & John Barnes so play this every Sunday - network game like. Have done since it came oot.
We always make Barnsey play as Watford (haha) coz I wanna be Liverpool, & then Waddle can be Newcastle. When Lineker plays we let him be Tottenham. Classic game!
Chris Waddle2018-07-272 points
Me and Barnsey & Peter Beardsley still play this game, every Sunday via network linkup. Sometimes Lineker joins in, but he's usually knackered after Match Of The Day.
I like to be Newcastle, but so does Peter, so he tries to be Liverpool, but Barnsey wants to be Liverpool. We usually make Barnsey play as Watford haha!
Lineker opts for Spurs, or ponces off to be some Japanese team.
John Barnes2018-07-270 point
This is still the best footie management game out there. Me, Peter Beardsley and Chris Waddle have a network game of this every Sunday. Me and Beardsley often argue over who gets to be Liverpool, but then we all argue over who gets to be Newcastle! I always end up at Watford.

1705: Tom Hateley's late, late free-kick sees Motherwell retain their place at the top of the table. Celtic produce a five-star display to see off Dundee United but an injury to Gary Hooper will give Neil Lennon cause for concern. Worry too, for Dons fans after seeing the 3-0 defeat by Hearts. Rangers and Dunfermline also record away wins on an action-packed afternoon of SPL action. We're back tomorrow for Kilmarnock v Hibs. Thanks for your company, enjoy your Saturday night. Cheers!
1655: FULL-TIME
ST MIRREN 0-1 MOTHERWELL
HEARTS 3-0 ABERDEEN
ST JOHNSTONE 0-1 DUNFERMLINE
CELTIC 5-1 DUNDEE UTD
1656: Celtic goal: A well-worked move involving four players on the edge of the United penalty area ends with James Forrest tapping in for Celtic's fifth goal of the day and a comfortable victory for Neil Lennon's men.
Motherwell goal: 'We shall not be moved!' sing the Motherwell fans as Tom Hateley's 20-yard free-kick finds its way past Craig Samson to send the visiting fans wild in Paisley. 'Well are staying top of the league!
1649: GOAL! ST MIRREN 0-1 MOTHERWELL (TOM HATELEY)
1648: John Rankin fizzes in a free-kick that Lukasz Zaluska tips away: great save from the Celtic keeper.
1645: Kenny Mclean takes a pop at the Motherwell goal from distance but really should have passed to team-mate Gary Teale who was in a better position. Couple of minutes left, it very much looks like a share of the points at St Mirren Park.
1642: Celtic substitute Shaun Maloney dances away from a couple of Dundee United challenges but slides a shot just wide of goal. Impressive play from the pint-sized midfielder.
1640: Francisco Sandaza has been lively for St Johnstone and the Spaniard finds Murray Davidson with a good cross but the midfielder can only head straight at Paul Gallacher.
1636: Craig Samson again is the hero for St Mirren as Ross Forbes smashes a 30-yard shot goalwards but the keeper is equal to it. Still goalless and Samson a candidate for man of the match surely? You'd back the keeper to grab a salmon leaping from a river with his eyes shut while wearing oven gloves in this sumptuous form. Great stuff!
Celtic goal: Shaun Maloney cuts back from the goal-line and Joe Ledley runs in to slot the ball home from four yards to extend their lead over United.
1634: Substitute Rudi Skacel volleys into the arms of Aberdeen goalkeeper David Gonzalez.
1631: The bloodletting at Tynecastle has abated as Hearts appear content to sit on their three-goal cushion. Enough capital punishment for one day.
1627: Worrying times for Celtic striker Gary Hooper: the forward suffered an injury while firing a shot at goal and being challenged by Paul Dixon. The former Scunthorpe hitman is stretchered off and is being replaced by Shaun Maloney.
1625: Michael Higdon stabs a shot directly at St Mirren keeper Criag Samson who spills the ball but Motherwell fail to profit. Still goalless at St Mirren Park and Samson is showing Ninja-like reflexes to keep the Steelmen at bay...
Celtic goal: Scott Robertson crumples in a heap inside the Celtic penalty area, but the referee Craig Thomson is having none of it. Celtic break up the park with Kris Commons laying on Ki Sung-Yeung who blasts home into the top corner from inside the box.
1620:... Second half sub Francisco Sandaza tumbles under a challenge from John Potter and the Pars defender is sent off. Liam Craig steps up to take the spot kick but is denied by a good save from Paul Gallacher! Saints spurn a great chance to equalise in Perth.
1620: GOAL! CELTIC 3-1 DUNDEE UTD (KI)
1619: PENALTY TO ST JOHNSTONE...
1618: David Templeton volleys on the run but cannot get enough on the shot to beat the goalkeeper: the Dons are being pulverised by a rampant Jambos outfit in the Scottish capital.
1616: St Johnstone, still to find the net this season, are toothless in attack, with Carl Finnigan and Marcus Haber spending too much time out wide. Andy Kirk has had virtually one touch of the ball and he's scored for Dunfermline.
1615: Dreadful miss from Aberdeen. Fraser Fyvie collects the ball at the back post and with the goal gaping, drags his shot wide. Sums up a miserable day for the Dons.
1614: Kris Commons sees his shot hit the inside of the post and bounce clear as Celtic go close to extending their lead.
1612: Anthony Stokes finds space in the box but opts to play a one-two with Mark Wilson rather than a fire a shot at goal and United clear the danger.
Hearts goal: Untidy defending from the Dons as Scott Robinson forces the ball through for John Sutton, who deftly clips the ball past David Gonzalez. Easy street now for the hosts.
1610: Little in the way of goalmouth action at the start of the second half in Paisley.
1607: Bringhthemonjpn tweets: 'Wee honest view. Hearts up 2-0 at H-T...More chance of my 'new bride' letting me choose the curtains, prediction wise...
1606: We're back under way at Celtic Park.
1603: The second half gets under way at New St Mirren Park, Tynecastle and McDiarmid Park.
1547: HALF-TIME
HEARTS 2-0 ABERDEEN
ST JOHNSTONE 0-1 DUNFERMLINE
ST MIRREN 0-0 MOTHERWELL
CELTIC 2-1 DUNDEE UTD
1544: The game at St Mirren Park is the only one of the four SPL games without a goal; Craig Samson's heroics in goal for the Buddies a major factor in the game remaining goalless.
1542: Simonb373 tweets using hashtag #bbcsportsound: 'What happened to 'the Dons look hungrier at the moment?' Typical Aberdeen to be bossing a game only to go 2-0 down...'
Celtic goal: Celtic regain the lead moments after Russell's strike as the predatory Gary Hooper reacts quickest in the box to head home from close range after Daniel Majstorovic's header was deflected onto the United bar.
Hearts goal: David Templeton dances his way to the byline and clips the ball across for John Sutton, who taps home into an empty net. Hearts well on top now and giving the Dons a pummelling.
Dundee Utd goal: Garry Kenneth miscues a shot over on the right-hand side of the Celtic penalty area and the unmarked Johnny Russell drills the ball home to equalise for Peter Houston's men.
Dunfermline goal: From a corner kick, the ball is worked out to Jason Thomson and his whipped delivery is met by the unmarked Andy Kirk whose close-range touch is deflected past Saints keeper Peter Enckleman.
1537: GOAL! CELTIC 2-1 DUNDEE UTD (GARY HOOPER)1534: GOAL! CELTIC 1-1 DUNDEE UTD (RUSSELL)
1532: Celtic keeper Lukasz Zaluska may have a few home fans choking on their pie & bovril as he rampages out of his goal; only to fail to confidently claim possession with orange United jerseys in close proximity...
1531: GOAL! ST JOHNSTONE 0-1 DUNFERMLINE (ANDY KIRK)
1530: St Mirren keeper Craig Samson turns the ball round the post following Michael Higdon's fierce drive: Samson is the man of the moment for the Buddies!
1529: 'There's an anxiety about United in defence. The ball, at times, looks like a hot potato. You get the feeling they could do with a goal to spread some confidence throughout the team.'
BBC Scotland commentator Rob Maclean at Celtic Park.
1528: Danny Grainger's free-kick fizzes past the wall but David Gonzales makes a solid save in the Aberdeen goal.
Hearts goal: Arvydas Novikovas collects a cross on the right-hand side, cuts inside and lashes a left-foot shot into the far corner of the net to send the Jambos into dreamland...
1525: Celtic midfielder Kris Commons sends a free-kick against the United wall from 25 yards and the visitors get it clear.
1522: St Mirren goalkeeper Craig Samson produces a brilliant save to deny Nicky Law as Motherwell look to break the deadlock in Paisley.
1519: Dundee United's Scott Robertson earns a yellow card for chopping down Anthony Stokes as the Irishman bore down on the United goal.
1518: St Johnstone defender David McCracken powers in a header from a Liam Craig delivery but it's straight at Pars keeper Paul Gallacher.
1515: Not a lot else happening at Tynecastle other than Arnason's header off the bar. The Dons look the hungrier at the moment and Hearts need to step up the pace.
1512: Another scary moment for United: Daniel Majstorovic nods down inside the penalty area, looking for Hooper to poke the ball home, but Dusan Pernis is equal to the task.
1511: Aberdeen hit the crossbar at Tynecastle. Kari Arnason rises to meet a corner and smacks a header off the goal frame.
1508: Yellow card for St Johnstone forward Carl Finnigan as he bundles the ball into the Dunfermline net with his arm.
Celtic goal: Celtic take the lead as Anthony Stokes collects Daniel Majstorovic's headed knockdown to lash home from close range.
1505: GOAL! CELTIC 1-0 DUNDEE UTD (ANTHONY STOKES)
1504: Celtic striker Gary Hooper gets an early sniff at goal but the Englishman snatches his effort wide of Dusan Pernis's goal.
1500: Here we go around the four SPL grounds, here's hoping for a goal bonanza! A minute's applause at Celtic Park for former player Willie Fernie, who died recently aged 82.

1440: You can read my colleague Colin Moffat's match report on Rarngers's victory at Inverness here.
1438: Rangers will head back down the A9 content with their efforts this afternoon: the Jelavic effort chalked off for offside, the two penalties and two ed cards will all be worth viewing when we have highlights on our website at 1800 on Sunday.
1435: 'Overall, Rangers have been the better team.'
BBC Scotland pundit Billy Dodds
1434: Inverness are still searching for their first league win of the season and Terry Butcher won't be a happy camper today...
1433: We're into the first of three minutes of injury time.
1430: Gregg Wylde lashes the ball high over Ryan Esson's goal when he perhaps should have fed his team-mates in the box. Ally McCoist's men are on course for victory and moving joint-top of the table with Motherwell.
1429: Jonny Hayes slaloms past a few Rangers challenges but can't find an Inverness team-mate; with five minutes plus injury-time remaining the visitors are looking good for three points.
1425: IainFordyce17 tweets: 'Stupidity from Maurice Edu no need for go in for a challenge like that.2-0 up comfortable. On a yellow you should know better.'
1424: Rangers midfielder Steven Davis slides a great chance wide after being set up by team-mate Nikica Jelavic. After a tight first half Rangers are swarming all over Inverness and look likely to add to their two-goal cushion.
1421: From Red in Perth by text on 80295: 'Typical bias refereeing towards the Old Firm. Perfectly good tackle and never a sending off. Rangers do need all the help they can get.'
1420: 'It was a stupid challenge. If you've been booked and you go into a challenge like that, you give the referee the option of sending off. A goal now would make it interesting now.'
BBC Sportsound pundit Billy Dodds
1418: RED CARD Rangers are down to 10 men as Maurice Edu earns an early bath for a sliding challenge on Nick Ross.
1417: Nikica Jelavic finds Steven Naismith with a cracking little dink but Naismith's low effort lacks composure and slides past the post: the stuffing has been knocked out of Inverness and Rangers look increasingly likely to add to their lead.
1416: 'That one for me is a penalty. It's clumsy by Shinnie. Referee calls it right.' BBC Sportsound pundit Billy Dodds
Rangers goal: Anyone for some more controversy from Inverness? Okay then, here goes. Dorin Goian tumbles under Andrew Shinnie's challenge and referee Euan Norris points to the spot for a second time. Nikica Jelavic's penalty is parried by Ryan Esson but Maurice Edu pounces on the rebound to fire home.
1409: IainFordyce17: 'Great that Rangers have gone one up. Will they play it out as 1-0 or keep going to find another? 1-0 is never safe!'
1408: 'Oh my word. From here, it looked perfectly timed. I'd like to see that again. That's a massive call, I think that's really, really harsh on Inverness.' BBC Sportsound pundit Billy Dodds
Rangers goal: Another controversial incident in Inverness. Ross Tokely is adjudged to have fouled Steven Naismith in the box but the defender appeared to get the ball in his sliding challenge. Tokely is sent off by referee Euan Norris and Nikica Jelavic keeps cool amid the Inverness tempers to score from the spot.
1403: PENALTY TO RANGERS...
1402: BOOM! Gregory Tade gets a sight at the Rangers goal but he balloons the shot over the bar.
1401: 'Rangers need to get more people hitting the box to support Jelavic.' BBC Scotland pundit Billy Dodds
1358: Inverness, launch an attack deep into Rangers territory, but so far they lack the invention and creativity to alarm Allan McGregor.
1355: Bringthemonjpn tweets: 'I'll take any odds..Rangers to break the deadlock from a corner. Seen this kind of match so many times...'
1353: Rangers are enjoying the lion-share of possession but Inverness are still looking fairly comfortable at the back. We're needing a bit of magic to lighten up proceedings. Give us a goal!
1352: 'It's been a bit of a scrappy start to the second half.'
BBC Sportsound pundit Billy Dodds
1351: BBC Scotland pundit Chick Young reports that Kyle Bartley - withdrawn in the first half - is suffering from a groin injury. 'But it's not too serious,' says Chick.
1345: bryancraig tweets using #bbcsportsound: 'Stats of 1.6 goals a game in #SPL just been announced on #offtheball on bbc sport..1.5 after this game me thinks.'
1335: Bringthemonjpn quips: 'I thought that R Perry was going to be the next president of the US. Not before coming on for Rangers, it seems.'
1333: HALF-TIME INVERNESS CT 0-0 RANGERS
1331: Inverness are having a purple patch just before the break and are beginning to thread a few passes together.
1330: From thejamesrae on Twitter using #bbcsportsound: 'Rangers in complete control of this game. Just need to get a goal. #Inverness have been very poor so far this season.'
1328: Aaron Doran sends in a low cross inside the Rangers box and Ritchie Foran is inches away from sliding the ball home. Despite being under the cosh for most of the first half, Inverness come within a whisker of taking the lead.
1325: Rangers continue to pin Inverness in their own half, Jamie Ness sends a 20-yard shot just wide of Ryan Esson's goal.
1324: Wallace, Ortiz and Edu combine and the US international sends a great cross in for Jelavic but the striker's header is blocked. That was a great chance for Rangers to break the deadlock.
1322: Lee Wallace and Juanma Ortiz combine down the left but once again a promising Rangers attack peters out. Terry Butcher will be happy with his side's defending; Ally McCoist less so with counter-attacks lacking a bit of bite.
1320: Nikica Jelavic has been fairly quiet since that early effort ruled out for offside.
1319: Rangers are forced into a substitution as Kyle Bartley limps off and is replaced by Ross Perry.
1317: From IainFordyce17 on Twitter using #bbcsportsound: 'Rangers have a lot of the possession. Will they use it to their advantage and maybe get one-up before half-time?'
1316: Kyle Bartley causes alarm in the Rangers defence when his header back to Allan McGregor almost sees Gregory Tade break free in the box, but the Scotland international gets in ahead of the Inverness hitman.
1314: The ball is lashed into the blue sky by both sides and the game is crying out for someone to put their foot on the ball and give us a bit of magic. Still goalless after half an hour.
1313: Rangers continue to look threatening on the break but have yet to call Ryan Esson into action.
1311: Shimidelica tweets: 'Just quoted my tweet on the #BBC website. :D That's almost made up for the fact I'm stuck on a bus and not watching the game!' We aim to please!
1310: 'It just needed a little bit more quality at both ends there. Two really good chances.' BBC Sportsound pundit Billy Dodds
1308: Maurice Edu then has a great chance to give Rangers the lead, but it remains goalless. Great stuff from both sides!
1307: In a flash, Inverness break away and Jonny Hayes plays in Aaron Doran but his weak effort fails to test Allan McGregor.
1305: Ross Tokely fouls Nikica Jelavic on the edge of the area but Rangers fail to profit from a promising position as the Inverness wall does its job to deny Lee Wallace.
1304: 'Inverness have defended well. The very few times they've got forward they've looked dangerous but they've got to do it more.' BBC Sportsound pundit Billy Dodds
1302: Rangers are probing for an opening but are meeting stiff resistance from the Inverness rearguard: Steven Naismith is snapping at the heels of the defenders!
1300: Bringthemonjpn tweets: 'Very hard to tell on my small TV screen which of the two managers has the larger neck veins.'
1259: Chris Hogg shakes off his sore head and closes down Nikica Jelavic and earns his side a goal-kick.
1257: 'Again, Rangers are getting down the wide areas. Naismith attacking it, Hogg did brilliantly. There's no intent there but Naismith absolutely clatters into him. A sore one for both.'
Sportsound pundit Billy Dodds
1256: A clash of heads between Steven Naismith and Chris Hogg leads to a stop in play. But we're back up and running.
1255: Kyle Bartley, with a long diagonal ball, tries to find Juan Manuel Ortiz, but the Inverness defence repel the danger.
1254: The home side venture into Rangers territory for the first time in the game but Owain Tudur Jones can't find the breakthrough.
1253: 'It's real backs to the wall stuff for Inverness and they haven't really got into the game yet.'
BBC Radio Scotland pundit Billy Dodds
1251: The sun is shining in the Highlands but some early storm-clouds for Rangers who are smarting following that Jelavic decision.
1249: Rangers think they've taken the lead but Nikica Jelavic's effort is chalked off for offside. The big Croat looked on when he buried Ortiz's cross. An early setback for the visitors.
1244: The last time these two sides on league duty in the Highlands they played out a 1-1 draw. Inverness fans have to cast their minds back to December 2006 for the last home league win over Rangers, John Rankin's 90th minute goal securing a 2-1 win.
1241: Shorn of the pace and talent of Adam Rooney, will Inverness have enough firepower to test the Rangers defence today? Ally McCoist's men are looking to put the Malmo defeat behind them and focus on domestic matters.
1237: From Shimidelica on Twitter using #bbcsportsound: 'Just saw the #Rangers line up. I fancy a score draw today. Rangers will concede with that back four. C'mon Caley!'
1234: 'We're very relaxed and looking forward to the game immensely. It's a wonderful occasion.'
