Graeme Shinnie, the Scottish Cup winner from 2015, recently shared his concerns about his former club, Caley Thistle, facing financial difficulties. Shinnie, who captained Inverness to victory in the Scottish Cup under John Hughes, expressed his sadness at the club’s decline and hopes that they can find an investor to save the situation.
In an emergency meeting held for Inverness fans and shareholders, it was revealed that the club needs £1.6 million before the end of the season and requires an investor by October 16 to avoid going into administration. Failure to secure funding would result in a 15-point penalty, pushing the team to the bottom of League One.
Shinnie fondly recalled his time at Inverness, describing it as the best experience of his career. He emphasized the incredible memories and people he encountered during his time at the club and expressed optimism that Caley Thistle can overcome their current challenges with the right support.
Despite the off-field concerns, Caley Thistle’s focus will now shift to the SPFL Trust Trophy as they prepare to face Livingston this weekend. This competition presents an opportunity for the team to showcase their resilience and determination on the field, regardless of the financial uncertainties looming over the club.
As fans and supporters rally behind Caley Thistle during this difficult period, the hope remains that the club will find a path to stability and success once again. Shinnie’s heartfelt sentiments reflect the deep connection he shares with Inverness and his desire to see the club emerge stronger from this challenging situation.
