It's credit to Kellacher that the mindset and approach has changed so immediately. We're seeing it in how the team play and in press conferences and interviews that we've moved from an attitude of 'must not lose' to a more positive 'we can win'. Things aren't perfect but that's being acknowledged with a view to working on improvements instead of throwing out tired excuses and complaints and playing victim. Survival in league 1 is still a monumental challenge and whether we manage it or not there feels like there is a true sense of belief about the club again that's been missing for a long time. We play the league leaders again next week and I'm looking forward to it.

Scott &co. & his boys deserve all the credit we can give them .Their fight back yesterday was incredible against the top team .So proud of them,and to see Scott's delight when we scored was heart warming .They played their hearts out right up to the end .Well done to one and all .Keep it up boys we can do this .

Thanks for the video links Don. Scott’s post match interviews are a breath of fresh air. I’d given up on them with Dodds spouting the same **** every week and DF just carried on the same. Thoroughly enjoy listening to him and hearing what he has to say, sounds like the lads are really bonding well in the face of adversity - HMS Sneck is steaming along nicely once again. …and it was great to hear from Musa too, seems like a really nice guy and if he carries on the way he’s started then he will be a firm fan favourite right enough.

First time at an ICT game for a shamefully long time and really enjoyed that! Didn't see what the penalty was for (can anyone enlighten me cos nobody appealed for it that I saw?) Thought the team were excellent in the second half, proper attack after attack and our win was deserved. Hopefully the start of a winning run. Also shout out to the team bus driver for offering to let our daughter take the drivers seat, she loved it

The second half was definitely the best I have seen from us in a long long time. Positive going forward with the belief to shoot from distance Quite ironic really that the two young guys who scored would probably be nowhere near the starting 11 if the plans for Kelty had been forced through. Both would be out on loan ,replaced by some ageing central belt duffers who couldn't get a game anywhere elsewhere and who just turned up on a Saturday.

On a day when a depleted Crystal Palace lost at home and a depleted Sutton United team lost away, coming out of an event and seeing this briliant result really made my weekend. It feels like the team are playing with a bit more freedom, conviction and energy. And we still have some gems in the team. Obviously the worry is if we get a Dodds-era injury crisis [which with our squad is now 2-3 players being out!] it could make life more difficult.... but aside from that I am buzzing for my trip up for QotS away in two weeks time

Absolutely buzzing after that result. Well done to all concerned. A nice wee winning run to finish off a desperate 2024 is the Xmas present we all need. Perfectly achievable I think. Onwards and upwards

I hadn’t until today been taking much notice of League One crowds apart from Inverness ones (which seem to end in 01-05 incredibly frequently) and was quite surprised to see the crowd at Cove today was as low as 551. At Inverness they remain in the 1509-1900 range and today in League One, the 1565 for the local derby between Montrose and Arbroath was way above any of the others and probably exceptional because it was a derby. So far, ICT don’t seem to have done too badly maintaining the kind of crowds they had in the Championship with a fairly small drop off. Let’s hope that this can continue because a fall to what emerges as typical L1 numbers would be fairly disastrous. A credible campaign to survive in the third tier would certainly help.

Just knew that win was coming and hopefully it is the start of a long run. |Well done lads and this is just the start - enjoy the ride.

We were excellent 2nd half I thought. Pele was sitting with Grassa and Savage, was nice to see him.

Only 20 points behind now, even after being deducted 15 ! Amazing how much better things are when the bad apples are removed from the barrel.

That’s potentially a season defining win. After losing an early goal, to save a penalty and score two goals to turn it round and get our first away win is just what the players needed. By all accounts it was a well deserved result and, after the players hearing the support they have from fans in Bar 94 after last week’s game, confidence must be high. We’ve made up 4 points in Dumbarton over the last 2 games. There is still a long way to go, but things are looking up. Now we need a good crowd next week to help the team overcome Alloa and get us back to back league wins for the first time this season.

They are back!

Brilliant to see the two young western isles lads on the score sheet! Also the ICT social media team were brilliantly on point in posting “siri, play Western Isles by Peat and Diesel”…need to have that tune at the Caledonian Stadium to encourage them!

For me it’s 50% as we should discount the Dumbarton game given what he and the players had been through in the days leading up to it.

Today’s result takes Kellacher’s win rate to 33%, overtaking Ferguson’s 29%.

A fine afternoon for a game of football and after a minutes silence it was game on. Billy Mckay brought out the first save of the game but one minute later we were behind. No surprise for guessing that Mitch Megginson opened the scoring. The on form striker fired home after Fraser Fyvie threaded a ball to Blair Yule who unselfishly teed up Megginson to open the scoring. Half an hour gone and chances were difficult to come by with Cove not shy to halt our attacks by fair or foul means. Touch wood and Cove had the opportunity to double their lead when Megginson stepped up to take a penalty after he was fouled by Jake Davidson. Musa Dibaga saved his spot kick and two minutes later we were level when Adam MacKinnon's shot from outside the box found the net. Just before the break Luis Longstaff slashed wide after James Nolan headed down to him in the box. HALF TIME: 1-1 Longstaff and Billy Mckay missed the target and Nolan had his attempt saved as the visitors started the second period on the front foot. Goal scorer MacKinnon was unfortunate as his long range shot came back off the post and Nolan missed the target after good work by Jake Davidson. Megginson brought Dibaga into action as the big keeper denied the strikers low shot towards the bottom corner, the keeper saving comfortably. Charlie Gilmour's deflected shot from range at the opposite end had the same result, Demus saving. However, the visitors persistence paid off when Keith Bray drilled in from outside the box. Gilmour shot over and Mckay saw his shot saved as the visitors looked for a wee cushion in the final quarter of the game. Into the final ten and substitute Declan Glass fired just over as Cove looked to level the game. In the final minutes Glass saw Dibaga save from close range at the expense of a corner as the visitors held firm for an important three points. FULL TIME: 1-2

I wonder if that penalty save from Musa could be something of a sliding doors moment. By all accounts we were outstanding after the save and it seemed to galvanise the team. He comes across as a thoroughly decent guy as well as a good goalkeeper so delighted for him. Back to a positive points total seems like a milestone. A tough couple of games coming up but onwards and upwards we go.

Forgot to say on my post, who was our club official thanking all of the fans for attending?

Who do P&D support I wonder. It would be great if they could write a tune for the club.

Yep, Pele is God. Good times. They’ll be back!

You are right that conceding the first goal is usually fatal for us - but I think the last comeback was at the end of January when we won 3-2 at Raith (when we thought Alex Samuel was going to be our saviour after his hattrick)

Am I correct in remembering that’s the first time we’ve picked up 3 points since being a goal down since Queen’s Park last December? Either way, domineering second half performance…. On the bus back from Aberdeen feeling more positive than longer than I care to think

Fantastic guys: well done all!!

First away win since Queens Park 7 months ago.

The ultimate result… an away win over the league leaders. What an afternoon!

Onwards and UPWARDS, negative to POSITIVE, in points as well as in survival hopes. Well done lads!!.

Great win. Can finally enjoy a Saturday night!

Full time! What a result. Dumbarton losing too makes it even better. Going by the stats we completely dominated with lots of shots on goal. Shows we can compete with any team in this league. Reduced the gap to Dumbarton to 11 points.

We are battering them like a Mars bar in Stonehaven...

Looking at the avalable data on the teams . Inverness Caledonian Thistle 32 pts Cove Rangers 17pts Based on scrabble we should win 3 -2 Cmon caley thistle. We start climbing today.

Looking forward to the top of the table being toppled by the bottom of it! C'mon Caley you can do it.
