Our home game against Queen of the South on 22 November is now a 1730 kick off and on BBC Alba.

To give some context to these programmes, here's the CTO reports From our own Stats and Ian Broadwood's reports: Dundee United Scottish Cup replay (after extra time Inverness CT 2-3 Dundee United Scottish Cup - Rd 4 (replay) Wednesday, February 18th, 1998, 7:30 PM at Caledonian Stadium, Inverness Attendance: 5,821 Referee: J Rowbotham A thrilling cup tie. The Inverness side fought like tigers in front of a record crowd (5,821) with the prize of a home tie against Celtic. United took the lead in the 7th minute when Olofsson took a through ball from McKinnon and lashed it home from 12 yards. On the 30 minute mark United were awarded a penalty when Winters tumbled in the box but Calder dived to his right to deny Pressley. A minute later Robertson sent a lob just over and in 33 minutes Dijkstra did well to smother the ball after a goalmouth scramble. In the 36th minute Cherry sent Wilson off on a run but his final shot was deflected away. On the 40 minute mark Shearer blocked a Dijkstra clearance but could only turn and hit it over the bar with the keeper stranded. A minute later the referee turned down a penalty appeal after Wilson was tripped in the box. Play raged on in the second half with Caley Thistle pressing and United hitting on the break. 6 minutes from full time the game seemed to be over when McSwegan made it 2-0, a good run and finish after pouncing on a misplaced Robson pass. Caley Thistle had other ideas and a minute later Thomson headed home a Teasdale cross to pull one back. With 90 seconds of injury time played McCulloch set off on a run down the right, played it to Wilson who backheeled it into his path and hit home a glorious angled volley from 20 yards. Extra time was lacking in chances as legs tired but the deadlock was broken 3 minutes into the second period. As Caley Thistle pressed forward McSwegan took advantage of the defensive gaps and ran through to provide Zetterlund with a shooting chance on the edge of the box and he took it gratefully and sealed the tie. Time ran out and United went forward to meet Celtic. A wonderful night for Inverness football despite the result. League Match Inverness CT 0-0 Clydebank Saturday, October 18th, 1997, 3:00 PM at Caledonian Stadium, Inverness Attendance: 1,542 Referee: R Orr A lucklustre performance from both sides. Defences played well and chances were rare. In 10 minutes Andersen sent a long ball through for Stewart but Ian Macfarlane raced out of his goal to clear. A minute later a Stewart pass from the left was met by Shearer but his off-balance strike was saved by the keeper. Two minutes later at the other end Simon Kaljob intercepted a McCulloch header and forced two great saves from Fridge. In 21 minutes Robson sent in a cross from the left which Shearer just failed to reach and 4 minutes later Clydebank's Derick McWilliams shot over the bar from 18 yards when he should have done better. In 38 minutes a tremendous last-gasp tackle from MacArthur took the ball off the feet of Kaljob inside the box. Just before half-time Robson ran down the left and sent in a great ball across goal but he was too fast for the other forwards and nobody was there to take advantage. Four minutes into the second half Thomson ran onto a through ball but the keeper took the ball off his feet. In 55 minutes Shearer for once had some room and forced a good save from MacFarlane with a 10 yard drive. The home side created most in the second half but nothing came off. Robson had a good 15 yard shot saved in 75 minutes and a Stewart chip shot was saved in 80 minutes. Clydebank's best second half chance came in 79 minutes when substitute Gary Teale ran clear in the box but another last-gasp MacArthur tackle saved the day. The game petered out to a goal-less draw. After 9 games Inverness still seek their first league win. Friendly Match: Inverness CT 3-4 Rangers Tuesday, October 7th, 1997, 7:30 PM at Caledonian Stadium, Inverness Attendance: 4,336 Referee: K Bisset INVERNESS C T 3 (McCulloch 42, Stewart 84, Shearer 85) RANGERS 4 (Clelland 6, Van Vossen 28 & 50, Stensaas 33) INVERNESS CALEDONIAN THISTLE: Calder, MacArthur, Andersen, Noble (Thomson 59), Hastings, McCulloch, De-Barros, Shearer, Stewart, Christie (Ross 63), Robson (Wilson 59) Subs - Fridge & Tokely RANGERS: Rae, Wright, Bollan, McCall, Petric, Nicolson (Wilson 70), Stensaas, Cleland, Van Vossen (Fitzgerald 78), Durrant, Boyack Subs - Stone & Brown REFEREE: K Bisset (Inverness) ATTENDANCE: 4336 BOOKED: Hastings (Inverness CT) REPORT - Rangers fielded a strong team for this much delayed official opening of Caledonian Stadium. They were cruising to a comfortable win before the Inverness side scored 2 late goals and gave them a fright. Alex Clelland scored the first in 6 minutes from close range after an Ian Durrant pass across goal. 4 minutes later Iain Stewart had the first of several bad breaks when he thumped the ball off the bar. Stephen Boyack should have made it 2-0 in 26 minutes when he missed an open goal but 2 minutes later a suspiciously offside Peter Van Vossen scored after a Boyack cross. In 33 minutes it looked like a walk-over for Rangers when a great Durrant run and pass allowed Stale Stensaas to easily make it 3-0. Mark McCulloch brought the Inverness side right back into it just before half time when he pounced on a Rae fumble and blasted it home. It was nearly 3-2 just after the interval when a Stewart volley was deflected past. On the 50 minute mark Van Vossen scored his second when he collected a long through ball, strode past the defence and slipped it past Calder. 4 minutes later he missed a sitter when he tripped over the ball. In the last 20 minutes the home side fought hard and eventually were rewarded with 2 goals. In 84 minutes Stewart headed in a Ross corner for a well deserved counter and a minute later a glancing Shearer header from an Andersen free kick made it 4-3. Honour was well satisfied and the home fans went off proud of their team's performance. A good evenings entertainment all round.
