But there is a gulf of playing quality between both our performances and our opponents [...]

Today’s match report is brought to you by the letter “M”, for “Missed”. Missed chances, and a huge missed opportunity for Caley Thistle. Our home opener, in front of a good crowd, against a newly promoted side. It should have been a win, and it almost was, as we went close over [...]

A sense of history can be a depressing thing sometimes. I’d love to just take last week’s away win over Dunfermline as a sign of things to come – the first step in an uninterrupted march to the First Division title and our rightful return to the SPL. But then I remember last [...]

It wasn’t the prettiest match we’ve ever played, but the result is quite lovely. An open back and forth match defined by missed chances finishes 1-0 to the Caley away at Dunfermline, on the strength of a last-minute deflection from first-year Jaggie midfielder Lee Cox.
The Squad (with subs):
Esson
Proctor – Bulvitis – Munro – Djebi-Zadi
