New Caley Thistle goalkeeper Ross Munro on why 'there's no place like home'

1 day ago | pressandjournal.co.uk | Paul Chalk

Goalkeeper Ross Munro feels 18 months away from the Highlands has helped him improve as he steps in as Caley Thistle’s expected new number one. The 25-year-old was snapped up by the League One side last week, hot on the heels of Logan Ross joining the club to fill an area of priority after Musa Dibaga’s departure. Munro and Ross came through the ranks at Ross County, with the former making the move to Dundalk in January 2024 where he played 20 times for the League of Ireland side.
Ross County chief Steven Ferguson on the club's 'proactive' approach to the transfer window

1 day ago | pressandjournal.co.uk | Paul Chalk

Ross County chief Steven Ferguson believes their summer recruitment raids are a result of learning lessons from the club’s relegation from the Premiership last season. A play-off final defeat against Livingston saw the teams trade places, with County now back in the Championship for the first time since they won it in one attempt in 2018-19. Manager Don Cowie was retained and ex-County and Inverness boss John Robertson replaced Carl Tremarco as the assistant.
Caley Thistle boss discusses prospect of Aberdeen's Alfie Bavidge returning on loan

1 day ago | pressandjournal.co.uk | Paul Chalk

Caley Thistle boss Scott Kellacher insists he has plans in place should two Aberdeen loan targets head to League One rivals Cove Rangers. Last season, striker Alfie Bavidge, 19, and midfielder Alfie Stewart, 18, were smash hits in the Highlands as they helped ICT overcome a 15-point administration deduction to stay in League One. The January arrivals at the Caledonian Stadium made immediate impacts.
New Nairn County boss Wayne Mackintosh confirms signing target areas and pinpoints 2025-26 aims

1 day ago | pressandjournal.co.uk | Paul Chalk

Wayne Mackintosh is getting used to being the Nairn County manager – but admits it is a strange feeling to be the leading voice at the Highland League club. Across two spells, the 37-year-old served the Wee County for 16 years, stacking up 411 appearances. This summer, he was confirmed as the permanent replacement for Ross Tokely after first-team coach Brian Macleod stood in as the interim boss for the closing part of last season.
Six places offering rainy day activities for kids in the Highlands and Moray

You know the drill: you pack the beach bag and picnic cooler and keep checking the weather for the morning, like that’s going to help. Maybe in faraway parts of the country, like Devon and Cornwall – or even the East Neuk of Fife – this story could have a happy ending. But with the best will in the world, planning a summer holiday trip to the beach in the Highlands and Moray often ends in disappointment.

1 day ago | pressandjournal.co.uk | Dale Haslam

A rogue trader who duped two women out of £7,000 has been given a chance to pay some of it back and avoid a strict sentence. Steven Stewart of Coulardhill, Lossiemouth, put up a local noticeboard advertisement and a woman from Ross-shire saw it on July 4 2022. She contacted Stewart and he surveyed her roof in Fortrose to see how much work needed doing and what the price would be.

Exclusive: Liam Boyce assesses Gary Mackay-Steven's Ross County return

2 days ago | pressandjournal.co.uk | Paul Chalk

Liam Boyce reckons Gary Mackay-Steven’s trickery can help Ross County shoot straight back to the top-flight. The former Staggies striker, who scored 55 goals in 115 games between 2014-2017, is now with League of Ireland Premier Division side Derry City. He switched from Premiership Hearts in January but keeps a close eye on his past clubs, including County, who were relegated by Livingston in the play-off final.
