About our Caley Thistle news
Latest news on Inverness Caledonian Thistle FC (ICT/Caley Thistle), covering the Highland club's League One campaign, administration status, managerial changes and transfer updates.
Inverness Caledonian Thistle, formed in 1994 through the merger of Caledonian and Inverness Thistle, now finds itself in crisis. The Scottish club, which plays at the 7,512-capacity Caledonian Stadium, entered administration in October 2024 with debts of £1.2m, triggering an immediate 15-point deduction in Scottish League One.
Under interim head coach Scott Kellacher, who replaced Duncan Ferguson following the club's entry into administration, ICT continues to operate while administrators seek new buyers. As of early November 2024, 20 potential investors have expressed interest, including Danish billionaire Anders Holch Povlsen. The club has already seen several players released and loans terminated as part of cost-cutting measures.
Despite current difficulties, Caley Thistle maintains strong community ties in the Highlands. The club's greatest triumph came in 2015 with their Scottish Cup victory, while they reached the final again in 2023, losing 3-1 to Celtic. Their remarkable journey from Highland League merger to Scottish Premiership football has made them a source of local pride, famously spawning the "Super Caley Go Ballistic" headline after defeating Celtic in 2000.
The club's history reflects the evolution of Highland football, emerging from the merger of two local rivals to become the region's first major trophy winners. Their rise through the leagues included memorable cup victories over Celtic and a third-place Premiership finish in 2014-15, leading to their only European campaign.
