The Championship team is a huge underdog against Celtic in the Scottish Cup final.
Inverness' captain Sean Welsh has urged his teammates to have faith that they can perform "a miracle" this Saturday in the greatest game of his career.
The Championship team is a huge underdog against Celtic, who is attempting to win the domestic treble, in the Scottish Cup final.
Welsh, 33, is sure his squad has a chance despite knowing it will take a lot of work to pull off an upset at Hampden.
When asked about the importance of the game in the context of his career, the former Partick Thistle and Falkirk midfielder responded, "It ranks at the very top for me."
You don't have the chance to play on an occasion like this very frequently, especially as you get older and closer to the end of your career. It's something I'm really looking forward to.
I've been telling the guys all week that we have to believe. We need to have faith that we can perform a miracle.
"We don't just want to visit there for a day trip and become immersed in the event.
"We are aware that we face a tremendous struggle, but we must believe in ourselves.
We know we have a strong group and that we will face challenges during the game, but we must remain united and have faith in our abilities.
Celtic had the title locked up with plenty of time left, but they only won two of their final six Premiership games. Welsh rejected the idea that his players might take inspiration from the defending champions' recent slump.
"I don't think you can look too much into that," he continued.
You saw at the weekend (when they defeated Aberdeen 5-0) that they can turn it on when they need to. "They wrapped up the title early doors and then had a few outcomes they undoubtedly weren't delighted with. They'll be prepared for this, I have no doubt.
We know how difficult the endeavor will be, therefore it won't really matter to us.
