Billy Mckay scored twice with Sean Welsh also finding the net in a 3-0 victory at the Tony Macaroni Stadium on Saturday.

Inverness will be in the draw for the last eight on Monday at 5.30pm and are now one game away from reaching the semi finals that will be played at the national stadium.

Harper says whoever they face in the quarter finals, he will be dreaming of making the last four.

"Where we are in the Scottish football pyramid nobody expects a Championship team to get there," he said.

"But we are still in the cup, however we need to keep level headed, but also dream.

"We will enjoy the result, it is a great result for staff, coaches and players at the club."
Caley Thistle were beaten in the fourth round of the competition after a 2-0 defeat to Queen's Park last month.

But the club were reinstated after the Spiders were guilty of fielding an ineligible player.

Harper says while Caley Thistle accepted why people thought they were lucky to still be in the tournament, says they were determined to take their second chance.

"We let ourselves down in the Queen's Park game and none of us were happy about that," he said.

"But this was a chance to resurrect ourselves and pay back the fans after a disappointing result against Queen's Park.

"We knew it would be a tough game and it was a stuffy first half.

"We had more belief in the final third and making sure the extra pass got there so we are delighted with the result."
