<h1 style="text-align:center;">Do the Wasps still have a sting in their tail</h1><p style="text-align:center;"></p><p style="text-align:center;"><span data-i-color="hard">With just seven League1 games left this season we are off to face another form side on the fringe of the promotion race. Alloa Athletic were flying and looking like real contenders until they suffered two defeats in a row at Peterhead and Montrose, conceding eight goals in the process and that might just have knocked the stuffing out of them. However, they are still one of three teams that have reaped twelve points from their last six games, the others being Stenhousemuir and ourselves. Recreation Park has never been an easy place to extricate points from, but needs must and we should be looking to take all three with the Warriors likely to grind out another win over Kelty Hearts on Saturday. Inverness will be Soleless again on Saturday and next week as well. <span class="ipsEmoji" title="frustrated01"><img src="https://caleythistleonline.com/uploads/emoticons/default_frustrated01.gif" alt="frustrated01" loading="lazy"></span></span></p><p style="text-align:center;"><strong><span data-ips-font-size="200"><span data-i-color="hard">~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</span></span></strong></p><p style="text-align:center;"><a rel="external" href="https://ictfc.com/ticket-info-alloa-athletic-a-21-03-2026/"><strong><span data-ips-font-size="200"><span data-i-color="hard">Match/Ticket/Info</span></span></strong></a></p><p style="text-align:center;"><a rel="external" href="https://ictfc.com/ticket-offers-queen-of-the-south-h-27-03-2026/"><strong><span data-ips-font-size="200"><span data-i-color="hard">QotS Friends Ticket Offer</span></span></strong></a></p><p style="text-align:center;"><a rel="external" href="https://ictfc.com/ticket-info-kdm-evolution-trophy-final-2026/"><strong><span data-ips-font-size="200"><span data-i-color="hard">KDM Final Tickets</span></span></strong></a></p><p style="text-align:center;"><strong><span data-ips-font-size="200"><span data-i-color="hard">~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</span></span></strong></p><p style="text-align:center;"><img class="ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed ipsRichText__align--block ipsRichText__align--width-custom" data-fileid="17001" src="https://caleythistleonline.com/uploads/monthly_2026_03/AlloaPreviewWasps.thumb.jpg.ae0fc6fc55472f5d837d731514cbe4c7.jpg" alt="Alloa Preview Wasps.jpg" title="Alloa Preview Wasps.jpg" width="1000" height="558" data-full-image="https://caleythistleonline.com/uploads/monthly_2026_03/AlloaPreviewWasps.jpg.c4446d9b4440235f8a745f2e65016c29.jpg" style="--i-media-width: 481px;" loading="lazy"></p><p style="text-align:left;"></p><p style="text-align:left;"><img src="https://scontent.fgla3-2.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t51.82787-15/654012091_18570440593053179_7903335499050006006_n.jpg?_nc_cat=100&amp;ccb=1-7&amp;_nc_sid=13d280&amp;_nc_ohc=pGUonQd6G_MQ7kNvwGWacbj&amp;_nc_oc=Adq42SINCyDviQ_u-a3HI_K1NyDT-rGnN0r5cUsPd3Jp5wlTNzUWQhXjEyuqJe7LU8zN7Yr21EFyRbRQi-nxfnsn&amp;_nc_zt=23&amp;_nc_ht=scontent.fgla3-2.fna&amp;_nc_gid=UVv3InpzVltprudiK8K_ag&amp;_nc_ss=8&amp;oh=00_Afz-Jj814w41hKBLgozkk4mv4CrTsxO41h_DzmI-Kn_RIA&amp;oe=69C182AB" alt='May be an image of text that says "STARTING ELEVEN VS.

(On the Tuesday after we beat Ayr Utd 1-2 to progress into the </span><strong><span data-i-color="hard">KDM Trophy Final</span></strong><span data-i-color="hard">). A disappointing no scoring draw at Kelty followed where we struggled to create enough clear chances and allowed the pack to close in again before a 3-1 home win over Montrose. With Stenny drawing and Alloa losing in midweek, we had a smidgeon of breathing space going into the home game against Cove but that was taken away by a goalkeeper. Balint Demus headed in an equaliser because we failed to put the game to bed when on top. A common theme throughout the season and one which Stenhousemuir took full advantage of by snatching a last minute winner. We bounced back in midweek with a good 3-1 home win over Peterhead with as bizarre an 'offside' goal as you will see gifting the Head their consolation.

He will be suspended for the next two League1 games but ironically will be allowed to play in the KDM final against Raith Rovers should he be fit. <span class="ipsEmoji" title="shrug"><img src="https://caleythistleonline.com/uploads/emoticons/default_shrug.gif" alt="shrug" loading="lazy"></span> </span><strong><span data-i-color="hard">Ross Millen</span></strong><span data-i-color="hard"> was an unused sub last time out v Peterhead having missed a few games recently.

It got worse at the weekend in the late TV game where Montrose ran out winners in a nine goal thriller. However their good run prior to that never went unnoticed with Manager <strong>Andy Graham </strong>picking up the SPFL League1 Manager of the Month Award for February.</p><ul><li><p><strong><span data-ips-font-size="125"><span data-i-color="hard">Last Six League1:</span></span></strong></p></li></ul><ul><li><p><strong><span data-ips-font-size="150"><span data-i-color="green">W W W W </span><span data-i-color="red">L L</span></span></strong></p></li></ul><p style="text-align:left;">This run started with four wins on the trot stating away to QotS (1-2). Next up was 3-0 at home v Accies then another away win over East Fife 2-0 with the last win being 2-1 at home over Kelty Hearts. The curse of the MotM kicked in with a 3-1 reverse at Peterhead in a midweek encounter before the 5-4 loss at Montrose. But for a couple of late goals it was a thrashing although Callum Burnside can be pleased with his contribution of a hat-trick. He also notched a brace against Kelty and singles v East Fife and Accies. Luke Donnelly was also amongst the goals during the last six fixtures scoring three times.</p><p style="text-align:left;">Alloa have one of the better squads in League1 with a good mixture of experience and younger heads with no shortage of quality. Before the season started they were one of the tips to take the title and they will still believe they are capable of reaching the summit with seven games remaining. Certainly a play-off place will be a minimum target.</p><ul><li><p style="text-align:left;"><strong>Please note the admission prices for this fixture are as follows:</strong></p></li><li><p>Adult - £20</p></li><li><p>Over 66 -

<h1 style="text-align:center;">Time to Kick On</h1><p style="text-align:center;"></p><p style="text-align:center;">We play one of our postponed fixtures against Peterhead on Tuesday night 17th February with a 7:45pm kick-off. This is our catch up fixture as all teams will have played 29 games after Tuesday night with only seven League1 fixtures remaining thereafter. It's not been the most productive last fortnight as the Caley Jags crawl towards the finishing line having dropped four points against the bottom two sides. This has allowed Stenhousemuir to draw level on points at the top of the table and put the fans on edge after they ground out yet another result against a dominant Peterhead.</p><p style="text-align:center;">One positive from the weekend was Alfie Stewart's stunning strike to open the scoring and will go down as our 100th strike of the season. What a way to mark the occasion, as sweet a strike as you will see right here&gt;&gt;&gt;</p><p style="text-align:center;"><a rel="external nofollow" href="https://www.youtube.com/clip/UgkxIhJhhAImzsUAaYIu-PpQOiyZhANlqNrs">BOOOOOOM!</a></p><p style="text-align:center;"><strong><span data-ips-font-size="200">~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</span></strong></p><p style="text-align:center;"><a rel="external" href="https://ictfc.com/matchday-info-peterhead-h-17-03-2026/"><strong><span data-ips-font-size="200">Match/Ticket/Bus/Bar/Info</span></strong></a></p><p style="text-align:center;"><a rel="external" href="https://ictfc.com/ticket-info-kdm-evolution-trophy-final-2026/"><strong><span data-ips-font-size="200">KDM Trophy Info &amp; Tickets</span></strong></a></p><p style="text-align:center;"><strong><span data-ips-font-size="200">~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</span></strong></p><p style="text-align:center;"><img class="ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed ipsRichText__align--block ipsRichText__align--width-custom" data-fileid="16986" src="https://caleythistleonline.com/uploads/monthly_2026_03/PeterheadPreview.thumb.jpg.53fde2fa1f7718040f6729106f3af55b.jpg" alt="Peterhead Preview.jpg" title="Peterhead Preview.jpg" width="1000" height="389" data-full-image="https://caleythistleonline.com/uploads/monthly_2026_03/PeterheadPreview.jpg.cd831dfa8768d4f75341987d471a72e5.jpg" style="--i-media-width: 497px;" loading="lazy"></p><p style="text-align:center;"></p><p style="text-align:center;"><strong><span data-ips-font-size="150">Tuesday v Peterhead</span></strong></p><ul><li><p><span class="ipsEmoji" title="">🎟️</span> Tickets available from <a rel="external nofollow" href="https://www.eticketing.co.uk/ictfc">HERE</a><br><span class="ipsEmoji" title="">🚗</span> North and South Car Parks Open<br><span class="ipsEmoji" title="">🛍️</span> Club Shop open from 10am - KO</p></li><li><p><span class="ipsEmoji" title="drinking06"><img src="https://caleythistleonline.com/uploads/emoticons/default_drinking06.gif" alt="drinking06" loading="lazy"></span>Bar 94 open at 1730, last orders at 1915 (the bar must be fully vacated by 1930).</p></li><li><p><span class="ipsEmoji" title="drinking06"><img src="https://caleythistleonline.com/uploads/emoticons/default_drinking06.gif" alt="drinking06" loading="lazy"></span>Bar 94 reopens at full time when MotM <span class="ipsEmoji" title="trophy">🏆</span> will take place, so please stay for this after the game.</p></li><li><p><span class="ipsEmoji" title="oncoming bus">🚍</span> Operated by Stagecoach, the bus will leave the Bus Station for the Stadium at 1900</p></li><li><p><span class="ipsEmoji" title="oncoming bus">🚍</span> Returning from the Stadium to the Bus Station 10 minutes after the full time whistle.</p></li><li><p><span class="ipsEmoji" title="money bag">💰</span> For both games, the bus fare is £2.70 single (contactless payments or cash accepted)</p></li><li><p><span class="ipsEmoji" title="FREE button">🆓</span> Over 60/Disabled &amp; Under 22 Concession passes are valid, giving free travel on the service to passholders.</p></li></ul><p style="text-align:center;"></p><p style="text-align:left;"><img src="https://scontent.fgla3-2.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/651879967_1381403440687694_5840174973515161352_n.jpg?_nc_cat=105&amp;ccb=1-7&amp;_nc_sid=13d280&amp;_nc_ohc=kG0xCdxrSe4Q7kNvwFCFQyJ&amp;_nc_oc=Adlb5Ovu4YTmXltcJReAM1BJ2fA0LqA9ilQ03TjAI6ij_d4QoT7aMIg2M-Nv2y0f90JKoRERj7Nr1KXspyfQi1I1&amp;_nc_zt=23&amp;_nc_ht=scontent.fgla3-2.fna&amp;_nc_gid=GSHw-HgJMcQbw-QGK8fxmA&amp;_nc_ss=8&amp;oh=00_AfzHaNNKHdUuyGGp2JzTd2S1MdwWSsxhImF79hOVxKAvYw&amp;oe=69BB81CE" alt="651879967_1381403440687694_5840174973515161352_n.jpg?_nc_cat=105&amp;ccb=1-7&amp;_nc_sid=13d280&amp;_nc_ohc=kG0xCdxrSe4Q7kNvwFCFQyJ&amp;_nc_oc=Adlb5Ovu4YTmXltcJReAM1BJ2fA0LqA9ilQ03TjAI6ij_d4QoT7aMIg2M-Nv2y0f90JKoRERj7Nr1KXspyfQi1I1&amp;_nc_zt=23&amp;_nc_ht=scontent.fgla3-2.fna&amp;_nc_gid=GSHw-HgJMcQbw-QGK8fxmA&amp;_nc_ss=8&amp;oh=00_AfzHaNNKHdUuyGGp2JzTd2S1MdwWSsxhImF79hOVxKAvYw&amp;oe=69BB81CE" class="ipsRichText__align--left ipsRichText__align--width-custom" width="1110" height="1387" style="--i-media-width: 400px;" loading="lazy">Our squad in the disappointing home draw with Cove Rangers, our third draw in the last four games.

Meh!</p><p style="text-align:left;">Why have the goals dried up at a crucial stage of the season when we really need to put teams to the sword? A bit more composure against Cove would have been more beneficial and given us a comfortable three points, but we spurned too many good chances to ease our way to victory. I doubt we will find Peterhead any easier to beat with Peterhead nine points better off than Cove despite Cove beating them 2-1 recently.

Can we keep ahead of the Warriors? Can the wind and rain relent for the weekend? Can former County player turned referee handle this game? Can Suzi Quatro Can the Can?

We beat East Fife comfortably 3-0 and followed that with our BBC Alba extravaganza at Broadwood (0-1). The next League game was that tough 1-1 draw with Stenny when we had Ben Brannan sent off with 20m left. On the Tuesday after we beat Ayr Utd 1-2 to progress into the KDM Trophy Final. A disappointing no scoring draw at Kelty followed where we struggled to create enough clear chances and allowed the pack to close in again before last weeks 3-1 home win over Montrose. With Stenny drawing and Alloa losing in midweek, we now have a smidgeon of breathing space going into this weekend. Our game in hand is away to Peterhead.</p><p style="text-align:left;">Congratulation to our top scorer Alfie Bavidge who was named SPFL League1 Player of the Month for February with three crucial goals. Jordan Alonge also deservedly got himself into the SPFL Team of the Week. The Caley Jags are unbeaten in their last 13 games over 90 minutes in all competitions, the last defeat was 2-1 at Montrose on 27th of December.

However, every point is crucial as we all get down to the business end of the season and there are no easy games left for any side.</p><p style="text-align:left;">Mitch Megginson is always a danger with his experience, as is former Aberdeen striker Chris Maguire.

<h1 style="text-align:center;">Home Run</h1><p style="text-align:center;"></p><p style="text-align:center;"><span data-i-color="hard">We embark on a run of three home games on the trot starting with Montrose on Saturday followed by Cove next week then a midweek visit from Peterhead before a tough test at form side Alloa. Not quite the seven away fixtures we endured either side of New Year, but a welcome break nonetheless, and maybe just at the right time after a disappointing performance and result at Kelty last weekend. Stenhousemuir joined us at the top of the table after beating Accies 1-0 in midweek. No room for errors now as we enter matchday 28.</span></p><p style="text-align:center;"><strong><span data-ips-font-size="200"><span data-i-color="hard">~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</span></span></strong></p><p style="text-align:center;"><a rel="external" href="https://ictfc.com/matchday-info-montrose-h-07-03-2026/"><strong><span data-ips-font-size="200"><span data-i-color="hard">Match/Ticket/Bar/Bus/Info</span></span></strong></a></p><p style="text-align:center;"><a rel="external" href="https://ictfc.com/2025-26-kdm-evolution-trophy-final-ticket-prices-confirmed/"><strong><span data-ips-font-size="200"><span data-i-color="hard">KDM TICKETS</span></span></strong></a></p><p style="text-align:center;"><strong><span data-ips-font-size="200"><span data-i-color="hard">~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</span></span></strong></p><p style="text-align:center;"></p><p style="text-align:left;"><img class="ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed ipsRichText__align--left ipsRichText__align--width-custom" data-fileid="16968" src="https://caleythistleonline.com/uploads/monthly_2026_03/Youngfanzone.thumb.jpg.6009f5301373dd921275887d55a99d61.jpg" alt="Young fanzone.jpg" title="Young fanzone.jpg" width="600" height="750" data-full-image="https://caleythistleonline.com/uploads/monthly_2026_03/Youngfanzone.jpg.f43d28d4a42a63fd62484b68466801d2.jpg" style="--i-media-width: 360px;" loading="lazy"><span class="ipsEmoji" title="">🔴</span><span class="ipsEmoji" title="">🔵</span><span class="ipsEmoji" title="">⚽</span> <strong>𝐏𝐫𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐠 𝐅𝐚𝐧𝐳𝐨𝐧𝐞 </strong><span class="ipsEmoji" title="">⚽</span><span class="ipsEmoji" title="">🔵</span><span class="ipsEmoji" title="">🔴</span></p><p style="text-align:left;"><strong>If you're aged 12–17</strong> and love <abbr title="Inverness Caledonian Thistle">ICT</abbr>, this is your place to be before the game.<br>Join us at the <abbr title="Inverness Caledonian Thistle">ICT</abbr> Community Hub from 12 noon for our Pre-Match Young Fanzone.

A hard fought draw at Palmerston next where we led twice before being pegged back in a quality 2-2 draw. We beat East Fife comfortably 3-0 and followed that with our BBC Alba extravaganza at Broadwood (0-1). The next League game was that tough 1-1 draw with Stenny when we had Ben Brannan sent off with 20m left. On the Tuesday after we beat Ayr Utd 1-2 to progress into the KDM Trophy Final. A disappointing no scoring draw at Kelty last week where we struggled to create enough clear chances has allowed the pack to close in again. That all adds up to 12 points in the last six outings for the Caley Jags, the same as Stenhousemuir but one less than form team Alloa.</p><h4><strong>BAR 94</strong></h4><ul><li><p>Bar 94 will open at 1200</p></li><li><p>Last orders at 1430 (Last order 1445)</p></li><li><p>The bar reopens at full time.</p></li></ul><p></p><h4><strong>GETTING TO THE GAME</strong></h4><ul><li><p>Stagecoach Service Buses will leave the Bus Station for the Stadium at 1245 and 1415.</p></li><li><p>Buses return from the Stadium to the Bus Station 10 minutes after the full time whistle and at 1800.</p></li><li><p>The bus fare is £2.70 single (contactless payments or cash accepted), and Over 60 / Disabled and Under 22 Concession passes are valid, giving free travel on the service to passholders.</p></li></ul><p></p><p><img src="https://pbs.twimg.com/media/HCghFkkWIAAgpEi?format=jpg&amp;name=large" alt="Image" class="ipsRichText__align--right ipsRichText__align--width-custom" width="1080" height="1350" style="--i-media-width: 400px;" loading="lazy"><strong>Montrose drew 1-1 with Kelty in midweek </strong>Euan Louden with the goal just on half time with Kelty drawing level through Lewis Moore twenty minutes from the end.</p><ul><li><p><strong><span data-ips-font-size="125"><span data-i-color="hard">Last Six League1</span></span></strong></p></li></ul><ul><li><p><strong><span data-ips-font-size="150"><span data-i-color="soft">D D </span><span data-i-color="red">L</span><span data-i-color="soft"> </span><span data-i-color="green">W </span><span data-i-color="soft">D D</span></span></strong></p></li></ul><p style="text-align:left;"><strong>Six games ago</strong> Montrose drew 1-1 with Peterhead then 2-2 with Stenny.

Last time out in midweek was the 1-1 draw with Kelty Hearts. That's 7 points over the last six games.</p><p style="text-align:left;"><strong>Jambos loanee Callum Sandilands</strong> is one to watch. Back for his second season at Links Park, Callum has bagged 8 goals this season from his attacking midfield position. He made 18 appearances for Montrose scoring three times last season and is making an even bigger impact this season.</p><p style="text-align:left;">Taylor Sutherland is next best goal getter with five to his name.</p><p style="text-align:left;">Montrose are having a decent season sitting just outside the promotion play-off positions. At times this season they have produced runs as good as any in the division but inconsistency has kept them on the fringes. That being said, we have never really found the Gable Endies an easy side to get the better of, instead we just seem to plod on doing things the Caley Jags way.</p><p><img class="ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed ipsRichText__align--right ipsRichText__align--width-custom" data-fileid="16967" src="https://caleythistleonline.com/uploads/monthly_2026_03/Matchday28.thumb.jpg.74a3fb4cb1936d1d490135354edcd8fa.jpg" alt="Matchday28.jpg" title="Matchday28.jpg" width="599" height="750" data-full-image="https://caleythistleonline.com/uploads/monthly_2026_03/Matchday28.jpg.df68dd8b0d1e7cda4265436d1366f3ff.jpg" style="--i-media-width: 326px;" loading="lazy"></p><div class="ipsRichText__table-wrapper"><table style="min-width: 100px;"><colgroup><col style="min-width:20px;"><col style="min-width:20px;"><col style="min-width:20px;"><col style="min-width:20px;"><col style="min-width:20px;"></colgroup><tbody><tr><th colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p><strong>Pos</strong></p></th><th colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p><strong>Team</strong></p></th><th colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p><strong>Pld</strong></p></th><th colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p><strong>Gd</strong></p></th><th colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p><strong>Pts</strong></p></th></tr><tr><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p><strong>1</strong></p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p><strong>ICTFC</strong></p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p><strong>26</strong></p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p><strong>28</strong></p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p><strong>49</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p><strong>2</strong></p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p><strong>Stenny</strong></p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p><strong>27</strong></p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p><strong>16</strong></p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p><strong>49</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>3</p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p><strong>Alloa</strong></p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>26</p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>17</p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>43</p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>4</p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p><strong>QOTs</strong></p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>27</p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>4</p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>39</p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>5</p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p><strong>P'head</strong></p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>25</p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>-8</p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>35</p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>6</p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p><strong>Monty</strong></p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>27</p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>-12</p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>34</p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>7</p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p><strong>E Fife</strong></p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>27</p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>-22</p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>28</p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>8</p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p><strong>Cove</strong></p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>27</p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>-6</p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>23</p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>9</p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p><strong>Accies</strong></p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>27</p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>11</p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>21</p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>10</p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p><strong>Kelty</strong></p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>27</p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>-28</p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>18</p></td></tr></tbody></table></div><p></p><p style="text-align:left;"></p><p style="text-align:left;"></p><p style="text-align:left;"></p>]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">2447</guid><pubDate>Fri, 06 Mar 2026 19:00:04 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Kelty Hearts -V- Inverness CT - League1</title><link>https://caleythistleonline.com/articles.html/archives/preview-archive/previews-2025-26/kelty-hearts-v-inverness-ct-league1-r2445/</link><description><![CDATA[

The sides have met twice this season already. An opening day 0-3 win for the Caley Jags back in August set us off on the road to recovery and a 2-2 draw in the Highlands showed that we can take nothing for granted. We had to come back from two down as Innes Murray scored twice for Kelty before Devine and Zimba squared the game early in the second half.</span></p><p style="text-align:center;"><strong><span data-i-color="hard">KDM FINAL will be played at Firhill, Partick, on Sunday April 5 and will be shown live on BBC ALBA, kick-off 4.10pm</span></strong></p><p style="text-align:center;"><strong><span data-ips-font-size="200"><span data-i-color="hard">~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</span></span></strong></p><p style="text-align:center;"><a rel="external" href="https://ictfc.com/ticket-info-kelty-hearts-a-28-02-2026/"><strong><span data-ips-font-size="200"><span data-i-color="hard">Match/Ticket/Bus/Info</span></span></strong></a></p><p style="text-align:center;"><a rel="external" href="https://ictfc.com/kdm-evolution-trophy-final-2025-26-match-details/"><strong><span data-ips-font-size="200"><span data-i-color="hard">KDM TROPHY @ FIRHILL</span></span></strong></a></p><p style="text-align:center;"><a rel="external" href="https://ictfc.com/matchday-info-scotland-wu23s-v-netherlands-wu23s-02-03-2026/"><strong><span data-ips-font-size="200"><span data-i-color="hard">Scotland Wu23 V Dutch Wu23</span></span></strong></a></p><p style="text-align:center;"><strong><span data-ips-font-size="200"><span data-i-color="hard">~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</span></span></strong></p><p style="text-align:left;"><img src="https://ictfc.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/ScotlandWMatchday-1170x650.png" alt="ScotlandWMatchday-1170x650.png" class="ipsRichText__align--left ipsRichText__align--width-custom" width="1170" height="650" style="--i-media-width: 358px;" loading="lazy"><strong><span data-ips-font-size="125">International Friendly</span></strong></p><ul><li><p>Monday 2 March 2026</p></li><li><p>7pm kick-off</p></li><li><p>Sarens PSG Stadium</p></li><li><p>Free admission for all fans!</p></li><li><p>Seating Main Stand only.</p></li><li><p>Bar 94 for the match, opening at 1700 and again at full time.</p></li><li><p>Kiosks open as normal in North Concourse and Bar 94 Kiosk.</p></li><li><p>Bus Station : 1815 and returns 10 mins after the full time whistle.</p></li><li><p>£2.70 single</p></li></ul><p></p><p style="text-align:center;"><img class="ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed ipsRichText__align--block ipsRichText__align--width-custom" data-fileid="16959" src="https://caleythistleonline.com/uploads/monthly_2026_02/Keltypreview.thumb.jpg.d0ff9910e385afdeec22d568f8b3fc81.jpg" alt="Kelty preview.jpg" title="Kelty preview.jpg" width="1000" height="384" data-full-image="https://caleythistleonline.com/uploads/monthly_2026_02/Keltypreview.jpg.6f09d90f927db4b5393dcb9362857491.jpg" style="--i-media-width: 660px;" loading="lazy"></p><p></p><p style="text-align:left;"><img src="https://scontent.fgla3-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/641184440_1365862045575167_8059394667345236564_n.jpg?_nc_cat=102&amp;ccb=1-7&amp;_nc_sid=13d280&amp;_nc_ohc=XXW71vwH2pgQ7kNvwFBlORX&amp;_nc_oc=Adnpc_J-gGAndNpQXapAlYr91uWm1P9sJo263IIwnAc30olDykzlI9QXr5nB4LKZS5yaD-Hi7IzrsD3AUfiUfmEN&amp;_nc_zt=23&amp;_nc_ht=scontent.fgla3-1.fna&amp;_nc_gid=Q4GzBKsCWhqw5F8xMw7aMg&amp;oh=00_AfvNmGW0aBAg9qSDR2hbV_85jxDhiEBiY1aDYLkV6IAQyw&amp;oe=69A602DD" alt='May be an image of text that says "STARTING ELEVEN VS.

To be honest, if they were good enough to eliminate an Ayr United XI it would be reasonable to expect them to be able to cope with bottom of the table Kelty Hearts. However, therein lies the stumbling block. I would expect Kelty to show more fight than Ayr did given their predicament.</p><ul><li><p><strong><span data-ips-font-size="125"><span data-i-color="hard">Last Six League1:</span></span></strong></p></li><li><p><strong><span data-ips-font-size="150"><span data-i-color="green">W W </span><span data-i-color="soft">D </span><span data-i-color="green">W W </span><span data-i-color="soft">D</span></span></strong></p></li></ul><p style="text-align:left;">Good form over the last six League1 games starting with a win at East Fife (0-2) &amp; Alloa (3-1). A hard fought draw at Palmerston next where we led twice before being pegged back in a quality 2-2 draw. We beat East Fife comfortably 3-0 and followed that with our BBC Alba extravaganza at Broadwood (0-1). The last League game was that tough 1-1 draw with Stenny when we had Ben Brannan sent off with 20m left. On Tuesday night we beat Ayr Utd 1-2 to progress into the KDM Trophy Final where we will face Raith Rovers who beat Airdrie in a penalty shoot-out. Date and venue TBC.</p><p style="text-align:left;">Brannan was eligible to play at Ayr, but he will be suspended for the game at Kelty. I wonder if Liam Sole might be left out as well considering he was fortunate not to receive a red card at Ayr as he pushed his head into an opposition players face with what looked like a fair bit of intent. Naughty boy.</p><p style="text-align:left;"><strong>The KDM Trophy Final against Raith Rovers will be held at the 'NEUTRAL' venue of Firhill, Glasgow. For the removal of any doubt, that is FIRHILL PARK, GLASGOW. That's 58 miles from Starks Park and 170 miles from the Caledonian Stadium. Surely Perth was a better option?

The first <strong><span data-ips-font-size="150"><span data-i-color="soft">D</span></span></strong> was at home to Alloa (1-1) before two defeats to QotS (3-1) &amp; Stenny (0-2). A decent 0-0 draw with Accies and 1-1 draws v Peterhead &amp; Cove. Sandwiched in there, they put Cove out of the Scottish Cup on penalties away from home and gave a good account of themselves in a 2-0 defeat to the Pars in the Scottish Cup. So, not all doom and gloom as might have been suggested by the red and grey indicators. The defeats are against two of the top teams and they contained Alloa and Accies and were unfortunate not to take all three points at Cove.</p><p style="text-align:left;">Beware the scalded cat!!!</p><p style="text-align:left;"><strong>Attacking midfielder Ross Cunningham</strong> has returned to Kelty and scored on his second debut for the Fife club. Apparently he scored a screamer off the bench in the draw against Peterhead. Ross was last seasons player of the year for Kelty before he went to Stirling Albion.

The second finalist will be decided tomorrow night when Airdrie host Raith Rovers. If you can't make it to the game, both semi-finals are live on BBC Alba!</span></p><p style="text-align:center;"><span data-i-color="hard">It's another tough task as we look to end the run of another Championship side in Scott Brown's Ayr United who currently sit 4th in their League Table. We have already put out second placed Partick Thistle on penalties after a 3-3 draw followed by a hard fought 1-0 win over fellow League1 contenders Stenhousemuir. Incidentally, Ayr United and Ross County played out a no scoring draw at the weekend whilst we were being held in the Highlands by Stenhousemuir, our nearest rivals in League1.

<h1 style="text-align:center;">Crucial Six Pointer Clash</h1><p style="text-align:center;"></p><p style="text-align:center;"><span data-i-color="hard">Every point is a prisoner from here on in as we face a crucial six-pointer at home to nearest challengers Stenhousemuir. Gary Naysmith's side have been the biggest threat to our aspirations to return to the championship for next season. Make no bones about it, they are the real deal and are having a tremendous season thus far and a tidy Scottish Cup run to boot, where they thrashed Morton 4-0 then gave Falkirk a hard time before fatigue set in once extra-time kicked in. Not only that, but their League form has been consistent and they have already beaten the Caley Jags at home and away this term. The Warriors are unbeaten at home in the League for the last twelve fixtures, since Alloa Athletic beat them on the opening day of the season on August 2nd, and that has been a solid platform for them to build their season around. We did edge them out in the quarter final of the KDM Trophy, but that was another tough encounter. We moved five points ahead last weekend after Stenhousemuir dropped two points against Montrose whilst we beat Hamilton Accies in a tense win at Broadwood. All in, this should be another big game which could indicate where the title might be heading.</span></p><p style="text-align:center;"><strong><span data-i-color="hard">A date for the diary: Our KDM Trophy fate</span></strong><span data-i-color="hard"> has been decided when Ayr United beat St Johnstone after a dramatic ending and a penalty shoot out win. St Johnstone came back from the dead with two goals in the 89th &amp; 94th minute to level the tie at 3-3. Ayr went on to win the shoot-out 5-4 and we will face them at Somerset Park with the game being shown live on BBC Alba. Tuesday 24th February 19:45 kick-off.</span></p><p style="text-align:center;"><strong><span data-ips-font-size="200"><span data-i-color="hard">~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</span></span></strong></p><p style="text-align:center;"><a rel="external" href="https://ictfc.com/matchday-info-stenhousemuir-h-21-02-2026/"><strong><span data-ips-font-size="200"><span data-i-color="hard">Match/Ticket/Bus/Bar/Info</span></span></strong></a></p><p style="text-align:center;"><a rel="external" href="https://ictfc.com/fixture-ticket-info-ayr-united-a-24-02-2026/"><strong><span data-ips-font-size="200"><span data-i-color="hard">KDM Trophy <span class="ipsEmoji" title="television">📺</span> Ayr United</span></span></strong></a></p><p style="text-align:center;"><strong><span data-ips-font-size="200"><span data-i-color="hard"><span class="ipsEmoji" title="television">📺</span>Live on BBC Alba<span class="ipsEmoji" title="television">📺</span></span></span></strong></p><p style="text-align:center;"><strong><span data-ips-font-size="200"><span data-i-color="hard">Young Fan Zone</span></span></strong></p><p style="text-align:center;"><strong><span data-ips-font-size="200"><span data-i-color="hard"><span class="ipsEmoji" title="down arrow">⬇️</span><span class="ipsEmoji" title="down arrow">⬇️</span><span class="ipsEmoji" title="down arrow">⬇️</span></span></span></strong></p><p style="text-align:center;"><strong><span data-ips-font-size="200"><span data-i-color="hard">~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</span></span></strong></p><h2 style="text-align:center;"><strong><span data-ips-font-size="80"><span style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">𝐆𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫 - 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐠 𝐅𝐚𝐧𝐳𝐨𝐧𝐞</span></span></strong></h2><p style="text-align:center;"><span data-i-color="hard"><span style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">Ready to level up your matchday?</span></span></p><p style="text-align:center;"><span data-i-color="hard"><span style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">The new <abbr title="Inverness Caledonian Thistle">ICT</abbr> Young Fanzone is kicking off and it is the place to be before every home game.</span><br><br><span style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">If you’re 12 to 17 and mad about Caley Thistle, come hang out, cook up new chants, help create displays or just chill with your pals before heading to the stadium.
