Inverness and Nairn MSP, Emma Roddick, has lodged a motion in the Scottish Parliament to recognise the historic success of Inverness Caledonian Thistle Football Club in securing promotion back to the Scottish Championship.

The motion, which was the seventh to be lodged in the new session and the first from the MSP in her role as constituency MSP, applauds the tenacity shown by the players, coaching staff, and the board following a challenging period for the club.  Ms Roddick highlighted that this latest success reaffirms the vital relationship between the club and the City of Inverness, describing the club as an integral cultural and economic asset to the wider Highlands.  She also expressed her deep gratitude to the dedicated supporters who turned out to cheer on the team week after week.

Emma Roddick MSP said:

“I am absolutely delighted to bring the celebrations of Inverness Caledonian Thistle’s promotion straight to the heart of the Scottish Parliament. This squad, the coaching staff, and the board have shown incredible tenacity to deliver this result after what has been a deeply challenging period for the club.

“My own 2026/27 Season Ticket has been secured, and I hope to see many others in the North Stand soon as we cheer the team onto another successful season.

“Our local team is an integral cultural and economic asset to Inverness and the wider Highlands.  The bond between the club and our city is vital, and this achievement belongs just as much to the dedicated supporters who showed up every single week to carry the team over the line.  I want to offer my warmest congratulations to everyone involved, and I look forward to lodging another motion celebrating their next promotion in the not-too-distant future.”
