Like to think and hope that now we are the chasers again that a bit of weight is lifted from our shoulders.

Winning the title this year really is still a shot at nothing… if we can hang in there, great…if we can win it…even better

What’s super important should we end up in play-offs is the team is still ticking over, not feeling sorry for themselves that they didn’t win league and subconsciously ‘down tools’

The sides in top flight relegation battle are bang average at best…we already know that we can beat anyone in our division on our day too so winning title is far from our only route to promotion…

Whatever happens, we are guaranteed an exciting end to the season

No danger of Utd slipping up this Saturday so Dunfermline game is a must win for us to have any hope of clinging on challenging for the title.Even winning,its then followed by Thistle away on Tuesday,QP away on the Saturday and Utd away the following Saturday

Win all them we,d deserve to win the league Laughing

If only Arbroath could come back to win 2-3! Aye, right! It's no the Rovers they're playing! Sad

Should we not win the league and have to go up via playoffs, who would we rather face in the final?

County where we can't play Turner, who looked good the other night or St J where we can't play Brown and therefore no RB? Just my thoughts!!!!!

Heard a rumour earlier today that Inverness CT are on the cusp of entering administration. Any truth in this?

Sorry for the long read but it's difficult to copy and paste from PressReader. This gives an insight to where things are with the club.

The Press and Journal (Inverness, Highlands, and Islands)BY JOHN ROSS

The financial foundation of the club is at risk because it ‘didn’t look good’ for the council

A legal challenge could prevent Highland Council reviewing a decision on a controversial battery storage scheme in Inverness.
The £40 million project would see containers storing up to 50MW on a site at Fairways Business Park.
It has been thrown into doubt after a move to have planning approval reconsidered by the council next week.
First put forward by Inverness Caledonian Thistle (ICT) shirt sponsors Intelligent Land Investments (ILI), the project is wholly owned by the football club.
ICT chairman Ross Morrison told a meeting the club would receive a £3.4 million lump sum from selling the battery company to an undisclosed buyer.
The money would help to secure Caley Thistle’s future and support community programmes.
He said it was a “once in a lifetime” opportunity which would present the club with “difficultes in surviving” if rejected.
He added a legal challenge is ongoing that could come into play before the council has a chance to vote again.
Its south planning applications committee (SPAC) voted 3-2 last month to grant permission against officials’ recommendations.
Committee vicechairman Paul Oldham, who voted against the plan with chairman Thomas MacLennan, later moved to have the decision reconsidered.
He said it was “not a good look” for the council when so few made such an important decision.
A notice of amendment seeking a review by the full council next week has been signed by 30 councillors.
Mr Morrison said he was “absolutely bewildered” by the move.
He added the club should be “lighting cigars with a £10 note” having secured permission and being about to sell the asset.
Mr Morrison believes the legal challenges could stop the council meeting going ahead.
“We think the notice of amendment has been done incorrectly.
“We have made several legal representations and have KC opinion. We don’t think it should be going ahead.
“The financial foundation of the club is at risk here because it ‘didn’t look good’ for the council. We don’t think that is a relevant thing.”
He agreed with former MP and MSP David Stewart that the club could still secure permission from the Scottish Government which is supportive of battery storage schemes to help towards net zero.
“We would have I think a 90%-plus chance of getting the thing through via the Scottish Government.”
The 100-plus audience at Wednesday’s meeting were urged to write to councillors outlining their support for the project.
Mr Morrison had earlier detailed the benefits of the project at the meeting of fans, shareholders and sponsors.
He said it would save 20,000 tonnes of CO2 a year, equivalent to planting one million trees.
It would take up just four acres of a 200-acre site and the club claims it would have to have no visual or audible impact on any house.
Opponents of the project have raised concerns, incuding safety, noise and loss of green space.
They said approval by the committee went against the local development plan.
Lochardil and Drummond Community Council also said it was “hugely disappointed” by the committee decision.
