Inverness dream big after dark days – watch Partick Thistle match on BBCImage source, SNSImage caption, Inverness Caledonian Thistle led against Hearts before losing heavily last weekendByJonathan SutherlandBBC Sportscene presenterPublished11 minutes agoIn fewer than 12 months, Inverness Caledonian Thistle have gone from being a Scottish League 1club in administration to potential dark horses for a return to the Premiership.Scotland great James McFadden tipped them as one of the teams to watch this season during BBC Scotland’s first live Championship match of the season.Some managers baulk at the pressure such predictions can bring, but Caley Thistle boss Scott Kellacher is loving it before Friday’s home match with Partick Thistle in front of the BBC Scotland cameras.And Kellacher stated: “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.”You want people to come to games and you want them to be excited. You want them to look forward to the game and it’s not going to be boring this-and-that.”That’s what you get with us. We want to be an entertaining, attacking-type team. Get you on the edge of your seat.”When Faddy stated that, I thought ‘that’s a real nice comment’.”Kellacher’s side have had a solid if unspectacular return to the Championship so far. They have played two of last season’s Premiership play-off contenders, Dunfermline Athletic and Arbroath – with both matches ending 0-0.However, the fact Inverness Caledonian Thistle are still a going concern is in itself a minor miracle after the financial issues that threatened the very future of the club.Despite the burden of a five-point penalty last season for going into administration, Kellacher, assisted by Billy Mckay, steered the club to the League 1 title after local businessman Alan Savage took the reins behind the scenes.Kellacher has nothing but praise for the way Savage has brought the club back from the brink.”I actually couldn’t speak any higher of the man,” stated Kellacher of Savage. “He’s just got a special way about him in terms of how he goes about everything.”He allows me and Billy to get on with the job. We have a wee meeting once a week to make sure everything is all right, do we need anything? If so, what do we need, can we help? It’s never any problems, it’s solutions.”Everybody at the football club is so grateful for him coming in and giving everyone a new lease of life.”Inverness CT v Partick Thistle on Sportscene21/08/26Watch on iPlayer
