Bavidge earns Inverness CT a point against Partick Thistle

In just under a year, Inverness Caledonian Thistle have transformed from a Scottish League 1 club in financial turmoil to potential winners of Premiership football. Scotland legend James McFadden has predicted them as one of the teams to watch this season during BBC Scotland's first live Championship match of the year. Manager Scott Kellacher is relishing the pressure before their home game against Partick Thistle on Friday night, in front of a live BBC Scotland audience.

Kellacher remarked: "I thought to myself, 'good on you, Faddy Boy!' I'll give him his due, he's a man that's always positive and I love it." Kellacher aims to create an exciting, attacking team that leaves fans on the edge of their seats. Despite their recent unspectacular performances, Inverness Caledonian Thistle are still a functioning club, a remarkable feat given the club's financial struggles and the five-point penalty they faced last season for going into administration.

Assistant manager Billy Mckay has been instrumental in steering the club to the League 1 title, with businessman Alan Savage providing crucial support. Kellacher speaks highly of Savage, praising his positive approach and ability to handle the club's challenges. Savage's leadership has been crucial in turning the club's fortunes around.

Kellacher is optimistic about Caley Thistle's chances of promotion this season, even against Partick Thistle, who have won both their league matches so far. Kellacher encouraged his players and fans to dream big, emphasizing the club's remarkable journey from the depths of League 2 to the potential heights of the Premiership.
