Inverness Caledonian Thistle, commonly known as Inverness CT or simply Caley Thistle, is a professional football club based in Inverness, Scotland. They currently compete in Scottish League One, the third tier, following relegation in 2023. The club plays its home matches at the Caledonian Stadium, situated on the banks of the Moray Firth. Formed by a merger in 1994, the club's history is a remarkable story of rapid rise, most famously winning the Scottish Cup in 2015 by defeating Celtic in the semi-final and Falkirk in the final. That period under manager John Hughes, with players like Graeme Shinnie, represents the club's peak. The modern era has been challenging, with relegations seeing them drop to League One. However, the club retains a strong infrastructure and a passionate fan base known as the "Caley Jags" support. The aim is always to climb back up the leagues. In short, Inverness CT is a club with a fairy-tale history, now facing the hard work of rebuilding and seeking a return to former glories.
