The one thing that everybody should note in all of this is that Mark Brown was still deciding whether to stay with us or move to Falkirk. He was offered a contract that would have been enough to keep him.
However, Mark did not seek a position with Celtic. Celtic phoned ICT about the possibility and Grassa met their representatives to discuss a deal. They offered a fee that ICT could not ignore. Grassa and Charlie also thought hard about Marks future and decided it would be unfair to stand in the way of an opportunity such as this. Mark has been excellent for us so we're not going to repay him by blocking what is a fantastic opportunity for him. Our management team decided to let him go before Mark was even aware that an offer had been made. Mark Brown will go places in his career and we should all remember what he has achieved at ICT and wish him all the best for the future. And remember guys and girls, when you watch him walk out in the blue of Scotland, Inverness Caledonian Thistle was responsible for getting him there.
