Tomorrow we are playing Dundee United at The Highland Football Academy in Dingwall, with them looking to make it 4 wins from 4 this season so far.

If it had stayed at a 7 pm ko then I would've made it down to give my support. 6 pm is just too early for me now. Why the late change?

The boys have to be in bed by nine with school the next day.

The Starting XI for CelticFC: Hughes, Forrest, Paterson, McRobb, McQueen, Kennedy, Dembele, Coffey, Harper, Moffat, McBride. 

Subs: Denham, Smith, Cusick, Quinn, Wylie, Otoo, McFarlance

It's 1-1 Goal to Celtic from a free kick after about 20 mins. Leveller from Inverness 35 mins.

Inverness came back into the game after a bright start by Celtic

Half Time 1-1

 

Second half underway

81. Shot from Ross Gunn is held by Hughes

ICTFC Sub: Matheus Machado off, Donald Morrison on.

MacGregor effort saved & Celtic take the lead at 2-3

All over, Celtic win 4-3 as Inverness miss last spot kick.

Great effort from the young team but they go out on a penalty shoot out.

 

 

Can I just say, following the U18's on Twitter is fun, and beats reading any more tiresome bickering about the board:

Go, lads!

 

Bad luck ICTFC A valiant effort.

Aww,  out on pens, but great effort from the lads.

Agreed. Well done to the boys not just for their efforts this evening but all season.

Hopefully, we will be seeing a few more in the first team before too long. One way for a team like us is to develop our own players. Something we have not been too successful in doing in the past. Encouraging signs that that might be changing.

Great stuff, took them to extra time and pens. Must have been great to watch, it was pretty good on twitter. Well done the lads. ?

It was again a good game to watch well done to the youngsters matched the young Celts on the park and the coaching staff who are doing a great job   There was a decent crowd  there and I have to give the Ref top marks for keeping the game flowing and not getting conned by the way Celtic were looking for free kicks and penalties!

We play Aberdeen on Friday so it's worth going to see them if you can.

The future is clearly bright and some of the yoof will get their chance to step up given the current dilemnas and coaches apparently willing to give them that chance.

Another game on tomorrow at a different venue!

Our U18s are back in action tomorrow as they face @AberdeenFC at the @HighlandRFC, with the game kicking off at 3pm. Come along and support the young Caley Jags!

Very unlucky yesterday with a 2-1 defeat against Aberdeen, Donald Morrison with the goal. 

20 points clear at the top of the league, incredible http://ictfc.com/index.php/news/club-news/2396-barry-wilson-s-january-youth-update

i'm really not sure, i had a quick search but couldn't find anything, it seems as though the squad themself don't even get to see it regularly by the sounds of it.

I’ve looked a few times for it. It’s as if they don’t even have one!

i think you could be right

Surely that's a misprint more like 2 points given the number of games played, 20 points would mean no other team has won more than 6 games which seems unlikely.
