Kilmarnock 2 Inverness C T 0: Cups make season seem half empty
It's kind of traditional to follow defeat in the cup with something about being able to focus on the league.

For Inverness Caledonian Thistle, there really was nowhere else to go.
This was the second tournament they had been ejected from in eight days and while defeat in the semi-final of the Scottish Communities League Cup was more emotionally damaging, this one left them with a steeper bill to pay. Josh Meekings, their centre-back, said this is still "a massive season" for the club, but a Hampden final would have given it a landmark. Now all their chips are placed on their eventual position in the Clydesdale Bank Premier League. Meekings said that securing a place in the top six was their primary aim, but sixth alone would now seem a little anti-climatic.
