The relegation battle continues at Inverness this weekend when this seasons SPL fresher’s Hamilton call back to the Tulloch Stadium to continue the fight to avoid the drop into oblivion...well the first division at least. The prospect of visiting trendy, up market places like Greenock, Airdrie and Dingwall should be sufficient to encourage any SPL strugglers to up their game and miss out on these little gems of Scottish culture. However, Inverness having stuttered their way off of the bottom o

Every jobless manager in the UK; a few 1st division managers; 2 previous managers; a player who left us this month; and an Argentinian!! How did the board manage to narrow it down to just 1?? Firstly let me congratulate Terry Butcher and Maurice Malpas on successfully getting the job as the new management team of Inverness Caledonian Thistle. I believe this is a fantastic appointment for the club, considering we have never gone for the experienced manager before. I wish them both well in their

Yes, at last, the proverbial six pointer has arrived. ICT have now reached the bottom of the SPL and points are at a premium as we make our first trip to New Douglas Park, Hamilton, in what many see as the battle of the two most likely candidates to be plying their trade in the First Division next season. Hamilton have recently shown a steely determination in their play and good wins against Motherwell and Aberdeen offset by defeat to fellow strugglers St Mirren have seen them climb off the fo

Inverness Caledonian Thistle head into Sunday's meeting with Glasgow Rangers as the SPLs current 'crisis' club. A very poor run of results has seen strong vocal opposition to Craig Brewster from large sections of the Inverness support and the Supporters Trust has publicly called for a meeting with all shareholders to discuss the situation. Rangers also enter into the match in a tumult; having lost to their Old Firm rivals Celtic in the Old Firm derby the Govan club trail by seven points in t

With more time being spent conversing about Craig Brewster and the current form (or lack of it) at Caley Thistle it's hard to judge just what the fans are expecting from this weeks forthcoming fixture against Aberdeen. One thing is for certain, things aren't good right now and something needs to change before it's too late. Whilst many would prefer ICT to go on a good run, there's a growing number who would happily accept a defeat if it guaranteed a change of manager before Christmas. J

This weekend, weather permitting, sees the Tangerine Terrors come knocking on the TCS door looking to continue their decent start to the season. The club is under new leadership after chairman Eddie Thompson sadly succumbed to his long battle with cancer at the age of 67. Taking over at the helm is his son Stephen Thompson, and it was recently announced that manager Craig Levein has signed a three year extension to his Arabs contract.

One week after an away win against Hibernian, Inverness Caledonian Thistle welcome the Capital’s other SPL outfit, Hearts, to the Caledonian Stadium in Saturday’s SPL fixture. Both sides played midweek, with Hearts winning 1-0 at home against bottom side Hamilton Accies and Caley Thistle drawing 1-1 with Falkirk. In the previous league meeting this season the match finished 1-0 to Hearts, with an early goal from Saulius Mikoliunas putting paid to the Jags hopes for a win. Hearts have looked to
