June 2025 You can follow our games using FIXTURE LIST under Current Season Tab at top of page. Brief reports provided and team lines/scorers etc as we get the info. These are our current fixtures up until the League1 opener away to Kelty Hearts on 2nd August. It may show not 11 players but the Academy players/trialists are added to the report and substitutions may not be recorded on the system but that is due to the limitations of our current system short of actually adding all Academy players/trialists to our squad which is impractical.

The jigsaw pieces are fitting together nicely.

It appears to be fairly common knowledge that David Wotherspoon is a target. Yes please.

Carlos Heredia was No10 trialist scoring twice. Dominican Republic player Charlie Frost was trialist No9. A North West Counties side, Nelson, scorer of 34 goals last season.

Strathspey Thistle 1-4 Inverness CT XI A Caley Jags XI made up of u19's, trialists and Academy players were at Seafield Park Grantown on Spey on Saturday 21st June to kick-start the pre-season circus. The Caley Jags won 4-1 with one familiar name on the scoresheet. Unfortunately not for us but Aaron Doran scored a second half goal for the Strathy Jags. Ben Gardiner had opened the scoring with a penalty after 26 minutes before trialist No10 knocked in a pair just before the break. Roddie's brother Sam Thompson fired in from a free kick before Doran notched his goal. That ended the scoring 25. Szymon Rebilas 2. Trialist 3. Trialist 4. James Clark 5. Jack Walker (C) 6.

SEASON 2025-2026 SQUAD With Administration under control and just the dotting of the i's and crossing of the t's to be scrutinised, we have started building a squad capable of getting us back into the Championship. Some familiar faces re-appearing in Joe Chalmers, last here in season 2018/2019 and guys like Paul Allan and Remi Savage coming back for more alongside our experienced players in Danny Devine, Billy Mckay, Luis Longstaff. There must have been a 'three for the price of one' offer on Ross' amongst our new faces in right back Ross Millen, GK's Ross Munro and Logan Ross from County. They will all blend in with our already established youths like Mathew Strachan, Calum Macleod, Robbie Thompson and Adam MacKinnon. We have also secured some talented youths/academy players on contracts which will see us through this season. Jake Davidson is still on the books although he was in re-hab most of last season. Big players that we will miss this season are Musa Dibaga off to Ireland and Charlie Gilmour off to Dunfermline along with Keith Bray. Lewis Nicolson has taken a break from football as he recovers from his injury. Ethan Cairns is off to Banks o' Dee. We also had to hand back some talented loan players who helped us through the Admin season. Take a bow Alfie Bavidge, Alfie Stewart, Ben Brannan, James Nolan, Connal Ewan and keepers Marcus Gill and Aidan Rice and a couple of keepers from the highland league in Martin Mackinnon and Corey Paterson amongst others. Full list below of established players and youths contracted for this season.
