Good riddance to season 2023-24 – for Caley Thistle fans, it has been like watching a 10-month long car crash. The club we love has in so many ways lacked ability, leadership, common sense, entertainment value and customer focus. They have now returned to the third tier for the first time in the 21st century and what the future holds remain unclear. I cannot blame the players.

On Wednesday, Highland Council’s planning committee gave Caley Thistle’s battery farm scheme the green light – after planners had recommended it be thrown out. If what we are told is correct, this should put much-needed cash in the club’s coffers. There have been times in recent years when fans have been heavily critical of senior Inverness officials, and, on occasions, the criticism has been justified.

It has been quite a week in Caley Thistle’s world with a number of new players arriving and a fine win at Stark’s Park. The January window isn’t quite shut yet but the month so far has seen a higher level of comings and goings than I can remember before, with a number of interesting new faces arriving on the scene. Of course, before that could happen some familiar faces had to head out the Caledonian Stadium door, some of whom were not expected to go at this time.

This game went very much along the lines I expected at the start. There was always the possibility of an upset but in the end there were no surprises. In the first half we saw Broomhill working hard to frustrate Inverness, which they did very effectively without looking really stretched at the back. The home team were not getting the ball forward quickly enough for the fans’ or the manager’s liking.

After another disappointing setback at Airdrie on Tuesday, Caley Thistle simply couldn’t afford another loss at Somerset Park on Saturday. So, I was delighted to see them head home from Ayr with three points. Both teams had not been in great form going into this one and found themselves too close to the bottom of the Championship for their liking.

The snow falling across Scotland kept clear of Inverness on Saturday afternoon, but it still felt pretty raw at the Caledonian Stadium. It was certainly a day to be well wrapped up. Once again Caley Thistle were unable to come away with all three points against Morton in a 0-0 draw. A point apiece was probably about right as I didn’t think either side did enough to win the game.

The chances of all five Championship games turning out as draws at the weekend had to be extremely low, but that’s what we got. And I think the vast majority of Caley Thistle fans, myself included, would have taken a point from Firhill. It has been a poor spell for Inverness and they have struggled recently against worse teams than Partick Thistle, so I think the visitors will have been the happier of the two teams at full-time.

No words I could write can express the true horror of what I just witnessed – you really had to be there. Arbroath fans will naturally feel different but supporters of Inverness will have rarely witnessed a poorer performance by their team. This time last week I was looking forward to two games that appeared to give Caley Thistle opportunities to strengthen their league position. The first was a midweek trip to Greenock, perhaps the Scottish equivalent of a Tuesday night in Stoke.

Hampden Park is a venue that has played host to many iconic moments in Scottish football and a few in the European game as well. Perhaps Saturday’s fixture between Queens Park and Caley Thistle will quickly be forgotten but it was certainly a happy afternoon for the visitors who got back to winning ways. It has been a disappointing season so far for the Spiders. In recent seasons they have gone from strength to strength and last term we wondered for a while if they were heading to the Premiership.
