Dundee United manager Jackie McNamara believes his side can kick on from Saturday's win over Aberdeen as they prepare to travel to Inverness in the Scottish Premiership on Tuesday.
The Tangerines returned to winning ways when they defeated the Dons on Saturday thanks to Robbie Muirhead's first goal for the club.
It helped them move back into fourth position in the table, with their manager confident they can take heart from it ahead of their re-arranged trip to face Caley Thistle in the Highlands.
McNamara said: "It's one we're looking forward to.
"Beating Aberdeen obviously gives everyone a lift.
"They have had a very good season and to get the better of them was pleasing from our point of view.
"It's about trying to build on that and hopefully we can do that on Tuesday night up in Inverness.
"We'll go into it looking for the three points as usual.
"They are always difficult games up there, but we'll approach it with a positive frame of mind."
McNamara hailed Muirhead for grabbing his first goal for the Tayside club against the Dons and hoped there would be more to come from the former Kilmarnock striker.
He said: "I was pleased for Robbie to get off the mark.
"He deserved it for his overall effort.
"He has looked good recently and is a talented player.
"Now he just needs games and I'm sure he will get even better.
"That goal will do his confidence a lot of good to.
"It was a well-worked goal and there were a lot of pleasing aspects about our performance against Aberdeen.
"Inverness is another tough challenge because they too still have much to play for.
"The games are always hard fought and this one won't be any different."
United are without Paul Paton (knee), Ryan Dow (groin) and Marion Bilate (hamstring), who are all out for the rest of the season.
