Danny Devine, the newly appointed captain of Inverness Caledonian Thistle, opened up for the first time about the departure of his teammates and the club’s ongoing battle for survival, both on and off the field.
Devine expressed his gratitude for not being among the players released by the club’s administrators. He took over the captain’s armband from Billy Mckay, who now serves as the assistant player-manager under head coach Scott Kellacher. Several players, including Wallace Duffy, Flynn Duffy, Adam Brooks, and Cameron Ferguson, were let go by BDO, the financial administrators of the club.
The team faced a 15-point deduction penalty for entering administration, leaving them at the bottom of the league. However, recent victories against Alloa Athletic and Cove Rangers have given them hope of climbing up the table. Devine emphasized the importance of staying positive and focusing on winning games to improve their position.
Reflecting on the club’s past successes, such as winning the Scottish Cup and competing in Europe, Devine expressed pride in leading a team with such a rich history. He highlighted the need for consistency in their performance to narrow the gap with the teams above them in the league standings.
Looking ahead, Inverness Caledonian Thistle will face Queen of the South in their next match. Devine remains optimistic about their chances and believes that with continued hard work and determination, they can start to accumulate more points.
Despite the challenges faced by the club, Devine’s leadership and determination to succeed on the pitch are evident. As he guides his team through this difficult period, his focus remains on uniting the players and striving for better results in the upcoming fixtures. Fans of Caley Thistle can follow their progress and stay updated on the latest news through dedicated platforms and social media channels.
