  1. Deal or no Deal After a season that promised so much, went tit's up then almost recovered in time to make the play-offs, we head into season 2021-2022 without some familiar faces but also some new ones as we continue our drive to get back to the Premiership. Are the cards on the table or have some already played their hand. So far Tom Walsh is the first 'new player' to sign on, let's hope there's plenty more to come. *This page will be updated as new contracts are announced* ICTFC SQUAD UPDATE 15th June Billy Mckay 16th June Manny Duku 16th June Reece McAlear loan deal 17th June Welcome Michael Gardyne 17th June Kirk Broadfoot incoming 11th July The Boss: Neil McCann filled in for John Robertson with help from Billy Dodds when Robbo went on compassionate leave. They almost guided us back on track but we came up just short of a play-off place. Neil & Billy have been showered with plaudits from the Caley Jags support for their help but the time is right for the Boss to return. John Robertson will be back, but not as manager. He is moving upstairs as Sporting Director. So, apply within. Neil McCann did his best to sell the club to prospective signings as he left the Caledonian Stadium. Thanks Neil, good job well done. Deal: First and foremost, Billy Dodds is the new Head Coach signing a two year deal. He replaces John Robertson and interim Manager Neil McCann and after a CV sift he has emerged as the new man at the wheel. Good luck Billy. At the end of last season, we quickly extended the contracts of four of our promising young team. Defenders Harry Nicolson and Ryan Fyffe along with midfielder Lewis Hyde. Injured wide player Anthony McDonald was given another year to show his worth after his second spell with us was a total write-off when he was injured in training. A subsequent operation will hopefully have him ready for the new season. Already dealt: Mark Ridgers: One of the best keepers in the Championship (2022) Wallace Duffy: Young defender who missed latter part of season through injury (2022) Danny Devine: Proved his worth in a solid back four (2022) Robbie Deas: Great first season for Robbie, filled in at left back as well and now capped at u21. (2023) Cameron Harper: Made left back his own until injury, great young player and also capped at u21. (2022) Roddy MacGregor: Talented midfielder, getting stronger, superb prospect and another u21 cap. (2022) Sean Welsh: Influential captain, penalty taker and midfield creator (2022) Scott Allardice: Explosive first season, joint players PotY, midfield powerhouse (2023) David Carson: PotY & CTO PotY, what an engine whether at full back or midfield (2024) New Deal - Coming back for more: Shane Sutherland: More to offer and signed a one year extension (2022) Welcome (Back) to the Caledonian Stadium: Tom Walsh: Returns for a second spell at the Caley Jags after an injury curtailed season at Ayr United and the exciting wide player has penned a two year deal until the end of May 2023. He scores when he wants: Billy Mckay returns to the Caledonian Stadium after serving time on the dark side. (2 year deal) Incoming from Raith Rovers: 28 year old Striker Manny Duku signs a one year deal. !0 goals for Raith last season. Michael Gardyne: Is taking the plunge and stepping up to the top team in the Highlands from the village pub team in Dingwall. (1 year deal) Loan Deal: Its a 1 year loan deal for midfielder Reece McAlear who comes in from Norwich City. Late signing: Inverness have struck a deal to sign Kirk Broadfoot. The former Scotland international has agreed an initial one year deal with an option. Caley Thistle boss Billy Dodds has convinced the ex-Rangers star to move to the Highlands. The deal will also see Broadfoot start his coaching career with the academy at Inverness. No Deal - Who is in the departure lounge: Daniel Mackay: What a season Dan had. Young PotY and goal of the season against County in the Cup. Hibs snapped up Dan with a year left on his contract for an undisclosed fee, rumoured to be six figures. Massive potential, Dan has left the building having scored 12 goals in 57 appearances for the Caley Jags, 9 in his final season. Lewis Toshney: left before the end of the season after injury curtailed his appearances. James Keatings: injury prone season saw him leaving for Raith Rovers on a PCA. Scott Allan: Loan expired and returned to Hibs. What a talent, will be missed. Arran Lyall: Loan expired, promising wide player, returned to Rangers. Brad Mckay: Much maligned defender, played his part in miserly back four but he is off to Falkirk on a 3 year deal after five seasons at Inverness with 164 appearances scoring 8 goals. Nikolay Todorov: Turned down improved contract and will not be coming back after finishing the season strongly scoring 11 goals. James Vincent: is leaving after making 106 appearances and scoring 7 goals. One in particular will never be forgotten as we lifted the Scottish Cup in 2015. Kevin McHattie: His injury hit career at Inverness is over after just 39 appearances. Always a good professional. Miles Storey: Promises so much, seldom delivers... had been speaking with Billy Dodds but has allegedly rejected a new deal and will leave. Martin Mackinnon: Third choice keeper moving on. Shane Harkness: Not getting game time and moving on. Waiting to play their cards: Cammy Mackay: Reserve keeper while Ridgers is here, would need to go elsewhere for a regular start but has turned up for training. Aaron Doran: Seems like the fragile wide player has been here forever and is down to turn up for training for the start of the new season. Mackay and Doran look as though they will be here this season although no confirmation anywhere??? Kevin McHattie: Injury hit season, his time is up at Inverness. James Vincent: Bit part player, allegedly the dream is over for Cup hero??? Nikolay Todorov: Almost got us there, scored some great goals (11) last season... Martin Mackinnon, Shane Harkness, Kane Davies??? New Hands: Stepping up from the Academy, Inverness Caledonian Thistle FC are delighted to announce that Academy Graduates Ethan Cairns, Robbie Thompson, Lewis Nicolson, Alisdair Riddle and Harry Hennem have signed their first professional contracts with the club. Read More. Other home grown talent in the squad include Cameron Harper, Roddy MacGregor, Ryan Fyffe, Lewis Hyde, Harry Nicolson and keeper Cammy Mackay. Let's shuffle the pack? Kane Davies - Waiting for information? 2021: C Mackay, Doran, waiting for info? 2022: M Ridgers, Duffy, Devine, Harper, MacGregor, Welsh. 2023: Allardice, Deas, Carson - 2024

  2. Dean Brill has joined Tottenham Hotspur as a goalkeeper coach. Good luck to him.

  3. Maybe someone should remind the CEO that we don't have and have never had tiers in Scotland. More fundamentally if Hampden can operate in the next few days in Level 2 at 25% capacity, I would be very disappointed if the guidance doesn't allow us at least that proportion of fans if we are in Level 1 or below at the beginning of next season.

    • Dundee United 1-1 Inverness CT - Report
      Hopes amongst the Caley Jags support were at rock bottom ahead of this one with the threat of relegation looming large. With all hands to the pumps, Shaw, Boyes and Ujdur were brought back into the squad whilst not really 100% fit. Shaw started as did Pepple and Boyes with Billy Mckay, Lawal and Danny Devine dropping to the bench. Cammy Harper was given the Captain's armband today. It's a daunting task going to the lions den to face title favourites but underdog is our preferred tag. Anyway, 252 of them turned up at Tannadice in eternal hope and Duffy heightened the intensity only for Louis Moult to level things up. That's how it ended, a result we would have bitten your hand off before kick off.

    • Inverness CT 1-2 Ayr United - Report
      Having sat through one of the worst games for many a year there is little to hope for now apart from Arbroath to keep losing because we certainly appear to find it difficult to win. We have no game changers in our squad and our manager is playing the wrong type of anti-football to help our cause. Big Dunc thought we were the better team. Pleeeeeaaase, give me a break! We were second to everything and Ayr were always one step ahead of us after the first three minutes. SHOCKER springs to mind.

    • Inverness CT 0-0 Airdrieonians - Report
      These two sides looked as though they could play for the whole of March without scoring. In terms of opportunities, the hosts probably shaded it, but when we did miss the first defender, crosses invariably went behind the incoming strikers. On the one occasion we got on the end of the ball Billy Mckay's flicked header was cleared away from goal by Kanayo Megwa.
      Not the worst 0-0 draw ever, but scoring opportunities were at a premium. Neither keeper was overly troubled and this game had scoreless written all over it given the evidence of the first twenty minutes.

    • Inverness CT -V- Airdrieonians - Preview
      Promoted Airdrie are sitting in fifth place in the table, just below the play-off places with former Caley Jag Nikolay Todorov getting amongst the goals and he will provide a big test for our central defence. We have found Airdrie a difficult proposition at times this season but we did win the last home encounter against them.

    • Morton 0-2 Inverness CT - Report
      What a start for Inverness and Billy Mckay, who answered his abusers from last week by opening the scoring in the second minute, firing into the top corner after an assist from Cammy Harper. Robbie Muirhead looked to respond but Mark Ridgers was equal to his effort in the fifth minute. Ten minutes before the interval Sean McAllister curled in a low free kick from the edge of the box to double our advantage and open his scoring account at Inverness. Plenty of bookings but no further scoring saw Inverness pick up a vital three points in the relegation battle although we still remain in ninth spot but only two points from Dunfermline in fifth.
