Inverness Caley boss John Hughes admits he faces a selection dilemma in the last Scottish Premiership game of the season against Celtic at Parkhead tomorrow.

The Highlanders will be going all-out to spike Celtic's title party celebrations.

And with the William Hill Scottish Cup Final at Hampden against Falkirk looming, Hughes knows places are up for grabs.

He said: "We are caught between a rock and a hard place. If I am honest it is a game we could have done without.

"The negatives are if someone gets injured or gets a straight red card they miss the final but we still have to go there and compete.

"There are two or three places up for grabs and there are one or two wee knocks that we might not risk."

Meanwhile, Hughes will dedicate the Scottish Cup Final win to former Falkirk youth player Craig Gowans should Inverness beat the Bairns in the Hampden final.

Hughes was Falkirk boss on July 8, 2005 when the 17-year-old was electrocuted at the club's training ground when a long pole for nets he was carrying struck an overhead cable.

The Inverness manager believes it is fate that on the 10th anniversary of the tragedy his Caley Thistle side will play Falkirk at the National Stadium a week today, and should the Highland club win their first trophy he has vowed to dedicate the win to Gowans whom he will "never forget".

"He has been my inspiration," Hughes said.

"I have lost my parents and I have lost a brother, but all the family are around and you can take it.

"Craig is a wee bit different. He was a top academic and he could have done anything he wanted.

"We gave him a football contract and he said he would give football a go.

"He has been my inspiration, so if we win the cup it will be for Craig and his family.

"They are a magnificent family and you can see why he had so much style and class about him. And then you look back and you say 'tragic'.

"Ten years on, I look back and see his former team-mate Scott Arfield playing in the English Premiership.

"I always seen Gowans as an Alan Hansen, he strolled through the game. But they have kept the name alive and they are to have a marathon football game in July to break the world record.

"Is it fate that we are playing Falkirk in the Scottish Cup final and it is 10 years since Craig died? It probably is.

"When Falkirk played Rangers in the final (2009), his dad John led the team out and was in among the team talk at half-time.

"Everything we do is for the memory of Craig Gowans and I can't speak highly enough of him."
