Ross County 3-0 up against Livingston and looking very good for the title now. 5 Points clear with two games in hand. Roll on the Highland SPL derbies!

January 28, 201214 yr

ICT 0 - 0 St Mirren FULL TIME

Dissapointing given recent form, expected 3 points

But with Hibs and Dunfermline losing, its a pointed gained

We have had worse days.....

January 28, 201214 yr

We should have won it but a clean sheet and a point will have to do

January 28, 201214 yr

Agreed Alex :)

January 28, 201214 yr

Disappointing. It sounded as if we had enough chances in second half to win comfortably. Still another point clear of the bottom two, and another clean sheet.

January 28, 201214 yr

Positives = Third clean sheet in a row AND stretching our lead over bottom two!

January 28, 201214 yr

keeping it in with the season ...a points a point for a'that which to be fair is better than no points...not losing any ground on those above us is good

January 28, 201214 yr

what insightful journalism from Sportscene...yeah st mirren didn't take there chances when they had them....#NSS

January 28, 201214 yr

Positives = Third clean sheet in a row AND stretching our lead over bottom two!

Oh.....AND stretching our unbeaten run. Still, shame we couldnt knick full points, as we would have been sitting in 7th place.

January 28, 201214 yr

Terry just confirmed on the radio that Lee Cox is on his way, a fee has been agreed with Swindon. Personally I think it's a shame as I genuinly believe he had a lot of potential and wanted him to stay a bit longer but money talks, lets hope we get a decent fee for him if the deal is concluded.

I haven't read the rest of the posts today but getting over the disappointment of not winning a game which sounded like we were the better with more chances it is good that we have stretched the unbeaten run, kept another clean sheet and sounded like we were better overall than St Mirren. I suppose it shows that we are progressing this season when we are sitting disappointed not to be winning a game like todays where a few months ago a draw would have been a great result.

January 28, 201214 yr

We were absolutely honking in the first half - if we strung more than two passes together even once, then I didn't see it. I lost count of the number of times Foran, Tansey and Proctor gave the ball away cheaply. Their keeper, who could have spent the opening 45 minutes drinking coffee and reading a newspaper, must have got a bit of a shock when we came out second half and created enough chances to win it. Gnakpa's effort off the post was incredibly unlucky; the misses by Tansey, Tade and Ross were just poor. That said, St Mirren had chances too, mostly because of horrendous mistakes from our players.

If you'd offered me 4 points from the last 2 games ten days ago then I would have taken it; to be honest, today we were nowhere near the level we were playing at last week and a 0-0 was a fair reflection of both the parity and the quality on show today.

Anyone who paid £20+ for a ticket for that must feel like a right prat.

At least they got the MOTM right for once - Gillet was easily our best player. Rossco also did well today, I thought. Gnakpa gave us a real lift when he came on; Tade had his poorest match for a long time today and I wonder whether he might be replaced for the Celtic game by his fellow Frenchman.

January 28, 201214 yr

Gnakpa was brilliant when he came on and was unlucky not to score. Nick Ross on the other hand made an absolutely astonishing clearance from under the St Mirren bar. That has to be the miss of the season century. First half was awful. Second half we should have scored three or four. Still, clean sheet again and Gnakpa looking good at everything.

January 28, 201214 yr

Here's an interesting statistic. This appears to be Caley Thistle's first goalless draw at home since 1st February 2009 - Terry Butcher's and Maurice Malpas' debut game at home to Celtic. Yesterday was the management duo's third anniversary in Inverness.

Except for the 0-0 against Ayr in Aug 09. But in SPL I think you are correct

January 28, 201214 yr

Talking of statistics that is 352 minutes without conceding a goal in the SPL (O'Connor's free kick being the last). Any stattos know what the record is?

January 28, 201214 yr

First half was awful, end of.

Second half...not sure what Terry said at HT, but we started off the second half far better. Tade missed an absolute sitter after a great cross from Hayes. Tansey was then a little unfortunate that his shot went inches past the wrong side of the post after some neat build up play. Gnapka looked excellent when he came on, big and strong, and was really unlucky not to score when his shot screwed back across the line after hitting the post. In saying that, he doesn't seem to like chasing the ball down! Worse miss of all was Ross's....would've been an excellent clearance if it'd been up the other end, but he somehow managed to miss from a couple of yards. Two points dropped imo. Gillet was outstanding, and fully deserved his motm.

Would like to see the two new boys start in place of Sutherland and Tade next time out.

A quick look at our SPL record and i found we went 350 mins without conceding against SPL opposition games were...

Inverness 1-1 Celtic 18 Dec 2005

Inverness 2-0 Hibs

Aberdeen 0-0 Inverness

Inverness 3-0 Livingston

Falkirk 1-4 Inverness 21 Jan 2006

Not quite 352 but almost

January 28, 201214 yr

Found a better record and surely this one is the official record. Bottom 6 of the SPL last 5 matches we never conceded and won all games.

Livingston 2-1 Inverness 08 April 2006 ( last goal conceded 81 mins)

Motherwell 0-1 Inverness

Inverness 1-0 Dundee Utd

Livingston 0-1 Inverness

Inverness 2-0 Falkirk

Dunfermline 0-1 Inverness 06 May 2006

January 28, 201214 yr

Which got me thinking DD.........Our best ever run was in 09/10 season with 15 games without defeat. 3 of that run was draws and one a 0-0 away to County. Will we ever be that consistant again?

January 28, 201214 yr

Thought we could of/should of won it in the second half but we are now 3rd in the recent form table.

Inverness 1-0 Dundee Utd

Livingston 0-1 Inverness

Inverness 2-0 Falkirk

Dunfermline 0-1 Inverness 06 May 2006

If you expand that into the following season friendlies then we won the first two without reply then lost to Peterhead. Dont know when Peterhead scored in that match but I reckon it at 571 hrs +

January 28, 201214 yr

Today, Just lulling Celtic into a false sense of security!

The draw very acceptable. We are still on our way, we certainly have the guns and ammunition to make Terry's prediction of some team in for a hiding not very far off now.

The blitz on target is coming very soon.

Inverness 1-0 Dundee Utd

Livingston 0-1 Inverness

Inverness 2-0 Falkirk

Dunfermline 0-1 Inverness 06 May 2006

And in the first SPL game of 2006/07 against St Mirren we conceded after 55 minutes. So the record is 514 minutes then. 162 minutes to go!

January 28, 201214 yr

7 games unbeaten and 3 clean sheets. Really pleased with our recent form but we shouldve won today.

Gnakpa endeared himself today with some great runs and a lovely shot that proved to almost be the winner when it hit the post. Cant have to many complaints. We didnt really look like scoring but at the same time we never really looked like losing the game. Tade and Ross also spurned some great opportunities to put us ahead.

Hoping Williams will be back next week and wouldnt mind seeing Gnakpa get a start. Bring on the Celts.

January 28, 201214 yr

That must have been the worst first half i've seen for a while, we hardly passed the ball twice before giving it away, thank feck Kenny G had Imrie in his pocket most of the time.

What has happened to Tade? jeez he was poor today, unfortunately for us so was Shane so nothing really happened up front for us.

Claude looks like he could be a very good signing, sort of a Gregory with skill/Davis on growth hormones!

Thought Ryan was unfazed, Rossco gave his all( but gets caught out of position too often) Gillet was brill, Proc did fine but again some lapses in concentration almost cost us.

The rest (before subs were introduced) were shyte.

How the feck Nicky missed that goal i'll never know! also when tade got wide and put the ball along the 6yd line Nick seemed to watch the ball go past him, even jonny looked like he's signed a pre-contract with xyz.

Anyway as clean sheet and another point away from pars!

Bring on the Tims.

KDM Trophy 26/27

Those six games were key in getting oscar , jordan and others up to speed and also supporting a two squad team.

KDM Trophy 26/27

So getting promoted means we have six games fewer than last season. Not everyone will agree, but I think that's a good thing.

KDM Trophy 26/27

KDM Evolution Trophy 2026/27
SPFL announces expanded KDM Evolution Trophy format
The SPFL has today announced the format of the KDM Evolution Trophy for season 2026/27.
Following the success of last season’s revamped competition – which included an inaugural league phase – season 2026/27 will now see more clubs compete in an expanded 40-club league phase.
The following 10 guest clubs across the Scottish Highland Football League and the Scottish Lowland Football League East and West have accepted invitations into this season’s competition:
Banks o’ Dee
Berwick Rangers
Bonnyrigg Rose
Clachnacuddin
Clydebank
Cowdenbeath
Cumbernauld Colts
Formartine United
Fraserburgh
Gala Fairydean Rovers
They will join 10 William Hill League 1, 10 William Hill League 2 and 10 William Hill Premiership B-teams in the tournament’s opening round.
Clubs participating in the league phase will be split into four pots by division, with each club playing two different opponents from each other pot, totalling six matches. William Hill Premiership B-teams will again play all league phase matches away from home.
Points gained by clubs across six matchdays will feed into one league table, with the top 22 clubs qualifying for the knock-out Round of 32.
William Hill Championship clubs will enter the competition in the Round of 32 as seeded clubs, alongside teams finishing in the top six of the league phase, with the remainder of the competition following a traditional knock-out format.
Member clubs and the Scottish FA considered the new set-up hugely beneficial for youth players in providing more opportunities in the key ‘transition phase’ of ages 16-21, as players move from the academy environment to senior football. Youth prospects aged 15 will continue to be eligible to participate in the KDM Evolution Trophy, following a successful trial. The Scottish FA Cooperation System, which was designed to strengthen youth development in Scotland, has also been extended.
Neil Doncaster, group chief executive of the SPFL, said: “We are delighted to build on the success of last season’s new-look competition by inviting 10 guest clubs to participate in next season’s tournament, which will be sure to benefit the community clubs we have invited and provide new challenges for our member clubs.
“While we will continue to minimise travel with broadly regionalised league phase matches, following discussions with our members, home clubs will now retain gate receipts in full in the league phase, to support clubs financially.”
Over £1.3 million in prize money was shared with clubs for last season’s KDM Evolution Trophy, which was an increase of more than 50% on the previous year. The SPFL is pleased to confirm that last season’s prize money has been maintained for the 2026/27 tournament, with the winners receiving £150,000, and the runners-up £100,000.
The Scottish-based, internationally operating construction firm, KDM Group, remain proud title sponsors of the competition.
Iain Jones, Chief Executive of KDM Group, said: “We are extremely excited to continue our partnership with the KDM Evolution Trophy after a highly successful first season of the new-look competition. Next season’s expanded format promises to deliver even more excitement and opportunities to clubs and players across the country, which reflects KDM Group’s support for Scottish football across all levels of the game.”

The KDM Evolution Trophy league phase will commence on the midweek of August 11/12, where participants will look to better Inverness Caledonian Thistle’s run to the final last season. Championship clubs will again enter at the Round of 32 stage on November 3/4, with the 2026/27 showpiece final taking place on either the weekend of March 27/28 or April 3/4.
The fixtures for the 2026/27 KDM Evolution Trophy league phase will be published on Thursday 16 July at 1.00pm.
The full schedule of prize money for the KDM Evolution Trophy is set out below:
Winners: £150,000
Runners-up: £100,000
Eliminated in semi-finals: £75,000
Eliminated in quarter-finals: £50,000
Eliminated in Round of 16: £40,000
Eliminated in Round of 32: £30,000
Eliminated in league phase: £15,000 - £18,500 (depending on final league position)
A summary of key competition dates is set out below:
League Phase MD1: August 11/12
League Phase MD2: August 25/26
League Phase MD3: September 8/9
League Phase MD4: September 22/23

World Cup

I agree with that.
I can't see Argentina repeating and my Brazilian colleague tells me that they are not good right now, although in Brazilian terms that likely translates to only being good enough for the quarters or semis! No other country springs to mind as an eventual winner other than France or Spain although Spain also have a bit of controversy going on after naming no Real Madrid players to the squad.

Don't know what to make of Haiti. That's a pretty good result but looking at the squad list there are only a handful of players at recognisable clubs. One of them - Derrick Etienne Jr - plays for Toronto so I see him every week. A pacy winger, who will be familiar with the stadium in Boston, but someone who flatters to deceive most weeks. Scored something like 8 in 46 games for Haiti and only 5 in 60 for Toronto but popped up just a couple of weeks ago to score an absolute banger against Charlotte. Hopefully that is him done scoring for the season - internationally at least!
Not that I put much faith in the rankings, but it does have to be noted that Haiti are 83rd and New Zealand are 85th. The two lowest ranked teams in the tournament. Even Cape Verde (69) and Curacao (82) are ahead of them. Scotland are at #43. What surprised me - in the rankings - is that Ghana, who I thought were higher ranked, are listed at 74th spot so round of the 'worst five' according to the rankings.
