Three potential buyers interested in Inverness Caley Thistle

Businessman and former chairman Alan Savage has committed to ensuring ICT has enough funds to continue for the rest of its season.

Calling in administrators has incurred a 15 point deduction, leaving it on minus three points at the bottom of League 1.

Mr Savage said efforts were being made to raise revenue, and he called on public agency Highlands and Islands Enterprise and Highland Council to get involved.

He said the club was also looking at getting a restaurant chain to take over the Highlander Suite at ICT’s stadium.

Mr Savage said he also hoped local businesses would also come forward with investment.

Administrator James Stephen, who was involved with Rangers and Hearts when they went into administration, said the process had given Inverness some breathing space.

He said: “There is a reasonable period of stability – months rather than weeks.

“Alan has said he would not let the club run out of cash.”

Mr Stephen appealed to fans to get back behind the club.

The names of potential buyers have not been disclosed.
