Transfer target Cowie keeps focus on Caley

DON Cowie has hinted his long-term future may lie away from Inverness, but has vowed to continue to give his all while still at the club.

The midfielder, 24, has been linked with a January transfer to the likes of Leeds, Dundee United and tomorrow's opponents, Rangers.

"It's very flattering to be linked with the clubs who have been mentioned so far," said Cowie, who is free to sign a pre-contract agreement with another club as his Inverness deal expires this summer.

"Until something concrete happens, though, I need to put it all to the back of my mind. But, as one of the clubs supposedly interested is Rangers, it makes this weekend a bit different. I'll be doing everything I possibly can to get a result for Caley. But it'll be one of these matches where you know it could help to have a good game."

Cowie has not ruled out signing on with Inverness but he admits he is dreaming of bigger and better things.

He said: "Craig Brewster has already intimated he wants to keep me, so I'm sure we'll be talking in the next few weeks."
