Back to Business as Usual After the scenes, limbs and euphoria of a McTominay overhead bicycle stunner, a Tierney peach and a Kenny Fekkin MacLean whopper, there's a more mundane task ahead as Queen of the South are our visitors on Saturday. It's scheduled for a 17:30pm kick-off in League1 as we endeavour to consolidate our position at the top of the table. We managed that without playing last weekend but Queens can be a difficult proposition at times and are not to be underestimated. Queens will be looking to get involved in the race for a place, currently only five points behind the Caley Jags. Weather wise it's been a pretty chilly week with snow showers leaving a fine blanket on the surface and we are taking nothing for granted by getting the covers down early before the frost gets any worse. The late kick-off time can mean only one thing. Get yer Gaelic phrase books out as BBC Alba will be covering this one live. We are on the telly! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Match/Ticket/Hospitality/Info Scottish Cup v Tranent KDM TROPHY v Dumbarton (a) 🎅Festive Friends Hamper🎅 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Our last XI to take to the field was on the 11th of November against Dundee United 'B' in the KDM Trophy.

《Ten Years of Glory》 [Verse 1] The streets were alive with a Highland roar, Under the lights we dreamed for more, A decade ago, the stars aligned, History written, forever enshrined. [Chorus] Raise your voice to the northern sky, Sing it loud, let the echoes fly, Ten years of glory, the cup still shines, Inverness hearts, bound by time. [Verse 2] The sun beat down hard but we stood tall, Every pass, every shot, we gave our all, The final whistle, the crowd went wild, A night of magic, forever styled. [Chorus] Raise your voice to the northern sky, Sing it loud, let the echoes fly, Ten years of glory, the cup still shines, Inverness hearts, bound by time. [Bridge] From the banks of the Ness to the stands so high, We carried the dream, we touched the sky, No matter the years, the flame burns bright, Our story lives in the Highland light. [Chorus] Raise your voice to the northern sky, Sing it loud, let the echoes fly, Ten years of glory, the cup still shines, Inverness hearts, bound by time. [Outro] Tonight we stand, hand in hand, A decade of pride, a love so grand, Inverness Caledonian Thistle, Forever champions, forever this thrill. Ten Years of Glory-20251010152452 (1).mp3

I’m digging oot my Andy Cameron’s 45 record “We’re oan the march wi Ally’s army, we’re gonny win the World Cup”. On to the game. Up front, Credit due where it deserved. On a wet night of drama in that old bucket Hampden, Scotland won the match. I stand by my position however Denmark were the better team and had the player of the match in Isaksen. That said, it was a fantastic goal by McTominay. The Englishman’s awareness and athleticism was something to behold. It will be talked about for decades. Scotland thereafter fell into there normal stout defensive brand for the remainder of the first half. In the second half Denmark got a decision (wrongly IMO) that awarded them a penalty (and equaliser). This was the opposite where Kirstensen was wrongly sent off IMO. The game flowed on with Denmark the much better team (with 10 men). Fair play to Clarke here, he changed out the ineffective Christie and Dykes for Shankland and Adam’s. Shankland scored the type of H Kane goal we lack. A euphoric hampden was uncontrollable in it’s excitement. The damn Danes however quickly brought that ability, skill & control to score an excellent equaliser. (Much fingernail chewing begun). In the extra time Tierney scored an excellent goal against the Dane’s to send Hampden alight. McLean lobbed in a half way fourth when the Dane’s were all out chasing a third. Scotland’s night to be sure. The sending off was critical to the night. Without it I have the view the outcome would have been different. Fortune favoured Scotland last night. Give Clarke a night-hood and four year contract extension now before we reach the americas! bc💿
