On the same day its great to see Hearts losing (currently) the league cup final.

March 17, 201313 yr

fantastic news what a great weekend it has been

March 17, 201313 yr

Belter of a weekend-

Beating County, leapfrogging them in the league, Adams' seeth, top six comfirmed, Hearts beaten in the final, scored a free bottle of Whisky. Might even try my luck with the missus at this rate...

March 17, 201313 yr

A very proud day to be an ICT fan. Well done to the team and the management for this great achievement. It makes it even more pleasing when you consider that so many people tipped us for relegation this season.

Onwards and upwards for the rest of the season.

AND JUST THE DAB.

March 17, 201313 yr

The boys done good - as they say in trackside tv interviews...

Just one thing now really and I can look forward to a happy, sun drenched, boozy summer. Can you please win the final derby and finish above the dingers.... :cool:

Are county garenteed top 6 finnish too?

Unfortunately Smee, :tongueincheek: they are not. It appears that their horse drawn universe ran out of straw yesterday and imploded. Their leader dug in his hoofs and threw a tantrum as big as, well, culbokie. At a push. I really don't fancy their chances against Killie. Shame really. :laugh:

March 17, 201313 yr

I hope they do make it into the top six - just to beat them again.

March 17, 201313 yr

I've just realised soemthing. We'll have to play Motherwell again. :sad:

March 18, 201313 yr

I may be wrong but we will be Celtic & County away (they do look safe for top 6 TBH), Motherwell at home then whoever makes up the others. So thats a Celtic team who will have the league wrapped up so may be 'weaker', County who are in our pockets and a chance to finally avange Motherwell this season.

Also, am I right in thinking with our 5 game unbeaten run, if we continue undefeated to the end of the season that would be 12 games - beating the current County record of 11 unbeaten in the SPL this season - now thats an incentive!!!!

The tea leaves suggest a final day trip to Tinkerville with a place in Europe up fer grabs

I hope youll be handing out the valium then!

March 19, 201313 yr

Hopefully I'm wrong but my abacus suggests we can still fail to make the Top 6

Highly unlikely but if we lost our 2 remaining games. St Johnstone took at least 4 points from 6, Ross County beat Hearts and Killie won all 3 of there remaining fixtures we could miss out on goal difference. I think?? Happy to be proved wrong

March 19, 201313 yr

Your very wrong. We are seven points clear of sixth place and only six points available to them. To drop below sixth four teams need to overtake us. Only three can.

The teams you are concerned about could all catch us by the split, but even if they did we'd still be 6th!

Motherwell and Hibs are the only teams out of the possible 8 of which we should be playing at home to balance things out. Kenny would be in tears if he has to come up to Inverness 3 times

just did the maths, worse case scenario cellic champs, motherwell 6 pts , killie 9 pts, hibs 6, st john 6, ross co 3, cant finish lower than 6th

cellic whatever

motherwell 56

st john 50

ross co 48

killie 47 killie only 4 goals behind us, 3 wins and 2 loses for us would wipe that advantage out

ict 47

hibs 46

Regarding European places via the cup, if the winner is already going to Europe via the League, will the cup winners slot go to the runner up or to 4th in the league

March 19, 201313 yr

First and second Champions league. Third and SC winners Europa I believe. In the past if SC winners already qualified then runners up got spot. There was talk of changing that but dont know if it ever happened. To be sure of a spot we best aim for third.

As I understand it, if the cup winners already qualify for The Champions League, then the cup runner-up gets the Europa League place. If the cup winners already qualify for Europa League, then the other place goes to the league. Cup winners get best Europa place, cup runner-up or lowest league qualifier gets the worst

We only have one CL place this year do we not?

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 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

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.
