Inverness CT 0-1 St Johnstone - League Cup

Last gasp Saints
 
 Built like a heavyweight boxer, Uche Ikpeazu used his strength to turn and poke his shot behind Ross Munro to win this tie that was on a knife edge as we approached full time, just when we were all getting ready for a penalty kick shoot-out. St Johnstone had dominated possession in the opening 45' without threatening to run away with the game. Billy Mckay, looking suspiciously offside spurned an early chance for the hosts as the flag stayed down with keeper Toby Steward blocking the strikers effort from inside the box as he bore down on goal after slack defensive work by the visitors. Thereafter, the first half mainly belonged to St Johnstone's possession game but clear cut chances were at a premium. Best moment was Ross Munro acrobatically clawing away a header from Adama Sibideh and Jamie Gullan might have done better than blasting an effort over the bar as Saint's enjoyed the majority of the ball. After the break we looked more positive going forward, especially after the hour when Jordan Alonge and Liam Sole replaced Wotherspoon and Billy Mckay. Liam Sole is a bag of tricks with plenty of pace and he troubled the Perth defence, something we were unable to do often enough in the first half. Alfie Stewart saw his free kick from 25 yards tipped over the bar as we pressed for the opener. Desperate defending kept Sole at bay and just when penalties looked inevitable came the sucker punch from the big man. Sickener after we looked in control of the second half. Joe Chalmers almost sprung a surprise direct from the subsequent restart, the keeper back tracking to tip his on target shot from the halfway spot over the bar and Sole produced another dazzling run past dozens of players before his shot was deflected just wide. Alas, we just came up short in what turned into an entertaining game after a drab first half.
Full Time: 0-1
A tough one to take after competing well for long spells in the game. The introduction of Sole and Alonge gave us more energy and flair and we were unfortunate not to take advantage of that injection they gave us. St Johnstone did what they needed to do and got their reward right at the end.
The other game in our group saw East Kilbride beat Elgin City 1-4
Our two final games are both away ties at East Kilbride & Raith Rovers
Nobody said it would be easy.



Video highlights from Premier Sports TV

No, Listen... he went that way

Match reaction from CTO
tm4tj: Much livelier second half, especially when Sole and Alonge came on. Sole has been the most exciting player I have seen up here for a loooong time. He has plenty tricks in his bag and almost scored a sensational goal after beating abput nine players before his strike was deflected just wide. Strength was what got Perth their goal, nothing else. Excited for the season ahead with Sole ready to rip up League1. Alonge looks quality as well.
Hiro: Not much between the teams. I think we played some decent stuff, unlike under our previous manager it looks like there's a point to what we're doing. Shocking goal to give away, Danny will be really disappointed with that defending, fell for Ikpeazu's only trick.
Huisdean: As for the game, we were good in parts and probably deserved a draw. Still tend to overplay too much around the box though, please just shoot if the opportunity presents its self. Today was also a good workout in terms of fitness.
Doofers Dad: In general, I think we played pretty well today. Judging by the numbers of supporters who were standing in the main stand to applaud the team off the pitch at the end of the game, I would say most would agree with me.

Inverness CT v St Johnstone - League Cup

St Johnstone League Cup

This will be a tough test for our new look squad against relegated St Johnstone who will be looking to bounce back to the Premiership after finishing bottom of the table last season and will fancy their chances of progressing out of the group stages in this League Cup encounter at the Caledonian Stadium. They had to battle hard to overcome East Kilbride in their opening Group F tie eventually sealing a 1-3 win over the new League2 side. Our opening fixture was in midweek where we edged out Elgin City with a hard fought but ultimately deserved 2-0 win over the Borough Briggs side. Early days yet with most teams still building up to the bigger challenges ahead with the League campaign getting underway in early August and teams looking to hit the ground running. Especially us as we start League1 at minus 5 points. Meh!

The League Cup has not been a happy place for the Caley Jags in recent seasons but we got off to a winning start over Elgin City in midweek with Billy Mckay and Luis Longstaff the difference between the sides. Had Elgin not smacked the junction of post and bar it might have been different, but them's the breaks. Scott Kellacher was happy enough with the win and a clean sheet and more minutes in the legs.
No listen! Really pleased with the first half. Looking forward to a hard game this weekend against St Johnstone, it will be a difficult test.

Here's our team that we had out in our first competitive game of the season after an indifferent pre-season. This will be fairly close to our strongest line-up available at present with players still to get up to speed and adjusting to pastures new. Ross Munro appears to be our number 1 keeper and seems decent. the back four of Millen, Devine, Savage and Strachan have those positions ring fenced. We have an abundance of midfielders and that is where selections will be easily rotated on a horses for courses basis. Allan, MacLeod, Chalmers and Wotherspoon are all accomplished players with new signings Alfie Stewart, Jordan Alonge and Liam Sole able and willing to step in seamlessly. Robbie Thompson is also still here and will be pushing for a start. Calum MacLeod looks likely to be the big breakthrough player this season. The experience and guile of David Wotherspoon as an attacking midfielder will be invaluable in assisting Billy Mckay and Luis Longstaff up front. Kell's has made no secret of the fact that he want Alfie Bavidge back here as well. What an asset that would be as goal scorers are in short supply at the Caledonian Stadium just now. In saying that, Mckay and Longstaff got the first half goals against Elgin that eased us to the three points.

This was the Super J's side that came from behind to run out 1-3 winners over East Kilbride in their opening League Cup fixture. A superb John Robertson free kick had given EK an early 7th minute lead which the new League2 side held until Jamie Gullan replied with a great free kick of his own seven minutes after the break. Adama Sidibeh added a second on the hour following a quick break forward with Mackenzie Kirk completing the scoring ten minutes before the end, Saints had to work hard for the three points but their persistence paid off in the end against stubborn opponents who look like they will be a great asset to League2. Simo Valakari was delighted with the win and acknowledged how difficult it was at this venue as he praised his opponents, at the same time as accepting that St Johnstone are nowhere near where he wants them to be. I'll take that as a word of warning...

INVERNESS CT 2-0 ELGIN CITY - LEAGUE CUP

League Cup off and Running


Off to a winning start in the League Cup. (goals from Billy Mckay (35) & Luis Longstaff (39)
Scott Kellacher made a late loan signing with a familiar face returning to the Caledonian Stadium in young Alfie Stewart. He comes back to us on a six month loan along with another well known face in ex-player David Proctor; now a qualified physiotherapist, Welcome back guys. Alfie was on the bench with Doc Proc in the dugout.
With Elgin City taking advantage of the loan partnership co-operation with Aberdeen, they immediately bolstered their squad for tonight's Premier Sports Cup tie against the Caley Jags. 17 year old Left-back Dylan Ross started and central defender Noah McDonnell also 17 made the bench (He must be a joiner). No room for James Mercer though. Ross Draper took his place in the visitors starting XI with Lewis Hyde on the bench.
A warm night in the Highland capital saw the first chance fall to Calum MacLeod but his shot was wide to the left. His next effort was saved low down by the keeper. Shortly after this Mathew Strachan's cross found Luis Longstaff in the box but his header was too high. Ross Draper saw his header saved as Elgin came out of defence and Longstaff had another header blocked before Paul Allan's shot was cleared off the line and David Wotherspoon's follow up was blocked. Half chances at both ends and around the half hour Jack MacIver hit the woodwork from twenty yards with a fierce effort to deny Elgin the opener. However, Billy Mckay did open the scoring minutes later from a tight angle after the visiting defence failed to clear their lines properly when Wotherspoon was blocked by Ross Draper. Longstaff added a second five minutes before the break knocking in from Strachan's cross. Elgin forced a couple of corners as the interval approached but Ryan Sargent headed over as the first half came to a close. Not much in it at the break, but it's Inverness that have the goals.
HALF TIME: 2-0
Kane Hester got a shot away early in the second half with Ross Munro saving before a flurry of activity around the visitors box saw Billy Mckay's effort blocked with Wotherspoon firing over and Strachan also being blocked. Munro saved from substitute Lyall Booth, spreading himself well and Hester blasted wide when put through towards goal just before he was substituted. The inevitable spate of second half substitutions broke play up and play became untidy but with three minutes remaining two of the subs combined with Jordan Alonge heading over a tempting ball in from Liam Sole.
That ended the action and Inverness kick started their League Cup campaign with a hard fought but ultimately comfortable win over auld enemies Elgin City.
FULL TIME: 2-0

Caley Jags League Cup Opener

League Cup Opener

Inverness start the season in semi earnest as we enter the Premier Sports Cup Group F on Tuesday night against Elgin City at the Caledonian Stadium. We had Saturday off as the competition got into full swing at the weekend. It kicked off on Friday night with Partick Thistle beating Edinburgh City 1-4. On Saturday a full programme of ties saw one or two inevitable 'shock results' as teams find their way after a Summer of rebuilding. A couple of notable casualties in Stranraer beating Ross County on penalties (6-5) after a 1-1 draw and Airdrie beating Dundee 1-0 at Dens Park. Spartans were victorious over Queens Park whilst Killie had to battle hard to eventually overcome Brora Rangers 0-2. Arbroath took the bonus point after a 0-0 draw with St Mirren and Clyde missed out on penalties to Premiership Motherwell after a 2-2 draw. Hearts beat Neil Lennon's Dunfermline Athletic 4-1 in the late game on Saturday with Charlie Gilmour making his competitive Pars debut with Keith Bray on the bench.
In our Group F: St Johnstone overturned an early lead for East Kilbride to come away with a 1-3 win whilst Raith Rovers put five past Elgin City at Borough Briggs in a 1-5 win. All teams still finding their feet after the usual closed season merry-go-round and we are no different as the results indicate from our indifferent pre-season form. However, I am assured that Liam Sole has pace to burn and could be a useful asset to the Caley Jags who have often been accused of being over ponderous at times. It's looking like we still need to source an out and out striker to save Billy's legs. Early days, we will just have to see what the next couple of weeks brings as we head towards the opening fixtures of the League1 campaign where we make our way to the Training Ground Derby at New Central Park, Kelty on 2nd August.














Elgin were cuffed 5-1 last Saturday by Championship side Raith Rovers with Jack Murray scoring for Elgin. Ross Draper with the assist for that one alas he also conceded a penalty. Notice that Lewis Hyde also started for City. They also have experienced marksmen in Kane Hester and Brian Cameron.

Aaron Doran Testimonial v Ross County

Aaron Doran ICTFC Legend
 
This Saturday it's a day to say thankyou to a club legend. Aaron Brian Cogan Doran has given the main chunk of his footballing career to the Caley Jags since joining from Blackburn Rovers having previously been loaned out to Milton Keynes Dons and Leyton Orient. He was initially signed on a six month loan deal by Terry Butcher, making 14 appearances scoring 3 times. His debut was as a substitute for Stuart Duff in a 2-0 defeat by Aberdeen on 26th January 2011. His first goal came against St Mirren in a 3-3 draw some three weeks later on the 12th of February 2011. Here is how we saw it on CTO: the Saints managed to clear the danger temporarily, the ball only came as far as David Proctor, who threw a dangerous looping ball into the box. Adam Rooney seemed to get some sort of touch on it and as the ball bounced beyond Richie Foran, Aaron Doran came steaming in at the back post and fired it into the roof of the net. (This portion of the match report was brought to you by the miracle of BBC highlights: I was in the bog at the time.) His third Caley Jags goal was a belter. A spectacular curling effort from distance against St Johnstone in a televised 3-0 game on 25th April 2011. Pick that one out. He was then signed on a permanent deal at the end of the season and he embarked on a fantastic career at the Caledonian Stadium spanning 13 years until injury cut his time here short and he left under a cloud of controversy created by the Scot Gardiner oligarchy and with a damaged knee to contend with. That was the low point of a tremendous career, littered with goals, assists, flair and a Scottish Cup winners medal round his neck. Who can forget his brilliant precision assist for the opening goal in the final against Falkirk back in 2015. Superb. A great footballing brain in a career blighted by injuries. 
Aaron was painted by talented local artist 👩‍🎨 Sophie Robb, a big Caley Jags fan herself, holding the Scottish Cup aloft in 2015. In total, he made 392 (118 from the bench) appearances for Inverness scoring 57 goals. His last appearance sadly lasted only 19 minutes when he was helped from the pitch with another serious knee injury against Raith Rovers on 19th April 2024, a sad end to his playing career at the Caledonian Stadium, although unknown to us at the time, worse would follow. He is second only to Ross Tokely in appearances. A Scottish Cup winner and a Challenge Cup winner and also played in the Scottish Cup Final in 2023. He was the Supporters Player of the Year in 2023.  When he left Inverness in June 2024 he joined up with Ryan Esson at Strathspey Thistle where he now helps with the coaching and still helps out on the pitch. So much so he managed to score against the Caley Jags in a recent pre-season game. All the best Aaron.
 
Not many can top these stats


Here is Aaron's career strikes against the County. He does like a wee goal against the gudgies.

Some additional information. This game will be a full pre-season friendly for both teams. Aaron will obviously feature at some point in the game but both teams will be fielding strong teams.
We are hoping some ex players may be able to join us a bit later in the bar for a catch up. 
There will be buses running, times will be confirmed but as you have noticed parking will be limited so this could be a good option for many of you.
Match tickets can be bought online at eticketing.co.uk/ictfc
Bar 94 will be open from 11:30 and will reopen at full time, with the usual range of products (and we have held the price of a pint of Dog Falls at £5). We hope to see you there to enjoy what the Testimonial Committee have lined up for the day.
With the circus taking place in the car park, please use the matchday bus if you are able to as parking will be restricted at and around the ground. It leaves the Bus Station at 1145 and 1315, returning from the Stadium 10 minutes after the full time whistle and at 1700.
The 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.
Stagecoach have advised that all revenue taken on the service on Saturday will be donated to Aaron's Testimonial Fund, so that is another great reason to use the service, as Aaron will be directly benefitting from your journey.

For those interested in how the game went: The only man to upstage Ronan Hale was Aaron Doran himself as Hale scored twice in the first half. However, that was of secondary importance as this day belonged to Aaron Doran in front of a guesstimated circa 2000 fans. 
 
 
Aaron Doran was a substitute for the Caley Jags in his testimonial game against local rivals Ross County, who aired their new strip for season 25/26
Both sides fielded strong line-ups with the hosts benching Doran and fielding two trialists on from the start. Doran was in good company with Billy Mckay, Luis Longstaff and new signing Jordan Alonge on the bench beside him.
A bright and breezy afternoon for this 2:00pm kick off with County getting the game underway, kicking towards the North Stand.
Ronan Hale bagged the opener in the seventh minute with a great finish, Cornelius with the assist. Ross Laidlaw in the County goal saved from Wotherspoon ten minutes before the break, but right on the interval Hale scored from a thumping free kick to double the visitors advantage.
HALF TIME: 0-2
Changes were made at the interval by County with Inverness waiting until the hour before McKay, Longstaff, Robbie Thompson and new signing Jordan Alonge were introduced. Billy Mckay brought Laidlaw into action with twenty minutes remaining. The main man came on to an appreciative round of applause from a decent support, replacing Wotherspoon on 70 minutes to say his farewells. More subs followed by both as everyone got involved in the play. Sub keeper Logan Ross denied Eamonn Brophy near the end.
FULL TIME: 0-2
Decent workout for both sides. Ronan Hale showing his class with two great strikes, but today was not about the result, it was to show our gratitude for a great servant to the club.
 
Thank you Aaron Doran

Squad for Season 2025-2026

SEASON 2025-2026 SQUAD
***Updated 8th July 2025***
With Administration under control and just the dotting of the i's and crossing of the t's to be scrutinised, we have started building a squad capable of getting us back into the Championship.
***Three new additions*** in David Wotherspoon on a 1 year deal and Jordan Alonge also 1 year. Liam Sole arrives from Livi on a 6 month loan.
Some familiar faces re-appearing in Joe Chalmers, last here in season 2018/2019 and guys like Paul Allan and Remi Savage coming back for more alongside our experienced players in Danny Devine, Billy Mckay, Luis Longstaff. There must have been a 'three for the price of one' offer on Ross' amongst our new faces in right back Ross Millen, GK's Ross Munro and Logan Ross from County. They will all blend in with our already established youths like Mathew Strachan, Calum Macleod, Robbie Thompson and Adam MacKinnon. We have also secured some talented youths/academy players on contracts which will see us through this season. Jake Davidson is still on the books although he was in re-hab most of last season. Big signing on 24th June with David Wotherspoon returning to the Caledonian Stadium after leaving Dunfermline Athletic. 
Big players that we will miss this season are Musa Dibaga off to Ireland and Charlie Gilmour off to Dunfermline along with Keith Bray. Lewis Nicolson has taken a break from football as he recovers from his injury. Ethan Cairns is off to Inverurie Locos. We also had to hand back some talented loan players who helped us through the Admin season. Take a bow Alfie Bavidge, Alfie Stewart, Ben Brannan, James Nolan, Connal Ewan and keepers Marcus Gill and Aidan Rice and a couple of keepers from the highland league in Martin Mackinnon and Corey Paterson amongst others.

Season Tickets 2025/26

Inverness Caledonian Thistle FC are delighted to announce 2025/26 Season Tickets will be available from Monday 9th June 2025 at 10am from the Club Shop and online from eticketing.co.uk/ictfc

The club have worked closely with the ICT Supporters Trust with the regards to Season Ticket pricing and are delighted to announce a reduction in price from last season across Adult/Over 65s categories. Also the extension of the 18-20 category from last season to now include 21 year-olds and students with valid ID. The club wanted to reward fans for their loyalty and vital backing during a challenging season last year, and feel the new season ticket prices reflect that. 

The new club management were keen to consult and work with the Supporters Trust regarding Season Ticket prices and have brought all season tickets under £300, including for those who did not have a season ticket last season and are looking to rejoin us for the new campaign. 

The club hopes with the outstanding finish to last year from the team, and the positive changes currently ongoing, that supporters will continue to get right behind Scott Kellacher and his players next season. 

Full Price Tables for 2025/26 Season Tickets can be found below:





 

Andrew Benjamin, ICTFC Commercial Manager, said: “It was a pleasure working with the Supporters Trust from the very start on this season’s ticket pricing and listening to fan feedback. Everyone at the club knows just how important it is to reward the incredible loyalty our fans continue to show. These renewal prices are a reflection of that appreciation. We also want to warmly welcome back anyone who’s been away from the club for a while, there’s never been a better time to return and be part of something special. The fantastic turnout of 2,400 at our final home game last season showed the strength of our community, and together, we’re excited to keep that energy growing into the new season and beyond.

George Moodie, ICT Supporters Trust Chairman, said:  “The Supporters Trust were delighted to work closely with the club on this year’s season tickets, I would like to thank the club for their efforts & support . We were involved right from the start, where we were able to provide input to the pricing & bandings. It really highlights the positive collaboration between Supporters and the Football Club just now and highlights what can be achieved through strong open communication.”

“It was important to the Supporters Trust that all fans who got behind the team last season were rewarded for their loyal support with a discounted renewal for the new season ahead. I hope that everyone can get behind the club and purchase their season tickets early so we can prepare for what will hopefully be an exciting season ahead.”

“Whilst renewing your Season Ticket, why not also join the Supporters Trust as well this season for only £5. Please click the link below to join/renew. https://membermojo.co.uk/ictst“
