A CIVIC reception is set to honour Inverness Caledonian Thistle as the club celebrates its 25th anniversary.
The reception, which will be held in the Inverness Town House, will take place on Saturday, April 20 after the club’s home match against Dundee United.
“We are delighted to recognise this important milestone in the club’s short but distinguished history with a civic reception,” said the city’s provost, Cllr Helen Carmichael.
“There have been so many highlights, culminating in the Scottish Cup success in May 2015 and playing in Europe later that year.
“Success for ICT reflects so well on our city and I wish the club every success in the future, beginning with victory in the forthcoming Scottish Cup semi-final tie against Hearts.”
Club chairman Graham Rae said the club was “honoured” by the decision to hold a civic reception. He added: “Throughout our short history, the council has been a steadfast supporter of our club, most recently in consenting to the transfer of the lease for the stadium and stands back to the club.
“In our silver jubilee year, we want to engage more closely with our local community so that the city and the wider Highlands benefits from our activities and success on the pitch.”
