Inverness will continue to lay claim to being the only Caley Thistle in Scotland after Rossvale confirmed a change of plan to their upcoming rebrand.
The Glasgow outfit's intention to change their name to Caley Thistle drew much criticism, with the Inverness club naturally objecting to the proposal.
However, this evening Rossvale have announced they will instead change their name to Caledonian Locomotives.
ICT chief executive Scot Gardiner and Rossvale chairman Dom McInally had talks last week, and the Highland club's CEO says both sides understood the other's position.
“Having spoken to Dom at length, I understood the pressures they had been put under due to no fault of their own and Dom also understood the position we would have to take," Gardiner told ICT's website.
"It is good when the football family can come together to solve a problem instead of exacerbating a difficult situation and that is exactly what happened here.
"We wish the Caledonian Locomotives all the very best in the future and we hope to meet them at some stage in the near future in the spirit of football.”
