Inverness manager John Hughes has urged his team to ensure they can keep looking up the table rather than over their shoulders by taking care of Kilmarnock on Sunday.
Killie travel north looking to cut the gap on Caley Thistle to five points as they bid to escape the Premiership's relegation play-off spot.
Hughes said: At this time of the year, especially in the bottom half, everyone will be there to cut each other's throat.
That's what will happen and we just need to look after ourselves and take care of business.
If we can win on Sunday we are looking above ourselves towards Dundee and Partick.
You are certainly playing for revenue as well, that's when it comes down to contracts, so it's all to play for. There's a great incentive there.''
Lee Clark's Kilmarnock side lifted their survival hopes with a 3-0 win over St Johnstone immediately before the league split.
Kilmarnock will be fighting for their lives,'' Hughes said.
It is quite ironic that at the start of the season we were playing Birmingham in pre-season and Clarky was the manager and now towards the end of the season we are playing Kilmarnock and he is now up in Scotland.
He is a manager with good experience, he has brought two or three players into the club, and he seems to have steadied them.
They are on the back of a good win against St Johnstone, a team we haven't beaten this season.
So it's going to be a really difficult match and we will have to be at our best.''
