Scott Kellacher is gearing up for a crucial Scottish Cup clash against Cove Rangers, with the hope of securing a financial windfall for Caley Thistle. The head coach acknowledges the significance of the upcoming match and the potential benefits that a victory could bring to the club.
The financial implications of progressing to the fourth round of the competition are not lost on Kellacher, who highlights the difference in prize money between exiting in round three and making it to the next stage. He points to the example of Buckie Thistle, who earned a substantial sum for their televised fourth-round tie against Celtic last season.
Reflecting on past successes in the Scottish Cup, Kellacher emphasizes the importance of the competition to him personally and to the club as a whole. He recalls the memorable journey to victory in 2015 and the many significant moments Caley Thistle have experienced in the tournament over the years.
Despite facing challenges such as injuries to key players like Jake Davidson, the team remains focused and determined ahead of the upcoming match. Midfielder Keith Bray’s return from injury is a welcome boost, adding to the team’s depth and potential for success on the field.
As the team prepares for the tough encounter against Cove Rangers, Kellacher’s message to the players is clear: approach the game with the same winning mentality and determination as any other match. The opportunity to secure a place in the next round of the Scottish Cup and the financial rewards that come with it serve as motivation for the team to give their best on the pitch.
