"The board took the decision in January to offer Terry and Maurice new one-year deals and they were happy to accept. It would be nice to think that action boosted continuity and confidence in the camp-- it certainly coincided with our superb unbeaten run which has swept us away from our title rivals. "Now that we are planning for life back in the SPL, I have held fresh talks with Terry and Maurice and reached agreement to tear up the one-year and replace it with a two-year contract. It is a well-merited reward for their excellent work here and hopefully provides forward stability for the club." Terry Butcher said:"It is very encouraging that the club have come forward with an extended contract for both of us. Maurice and I are very happy to commit ourselves to Caley Thistle, to which we have become very attached. There's such a superb spirit in the club and community. "This should help us re-sign players -- work on which is continuing -- by letting them know that we're here for the long run."
