Inverness Caledonian Thistle confirm they will look for new striker in January
INVERNESS Caledonian Thistle will be looking to strengthen its attack during the transfer window, coach Billy Mckay has confirmed.
Despite plunging into administration in October and still looking for a new buyer, the League One outfit are allowed to sign under-20 players.
Caley Thistle are looking to boost their attacking options up front as they attempt to get out of the relegation zone.
After a 15 point deduction after going into administration two months ago, Inverness are in ninth place on seven points. They are 11 points from safety with Annan Athletic in eighth
Along with Queen of the South, they are the joint lowest scorers in the league, finding the net just 15 times in 16 matches.
McKay admits Inverness need to be more ruthless in front of goal and they will be looking to find a new forward next month.
He said: "The attacking position is an area we're definitely looking at.
"It all depends on the situation with the club in terms of how much wiggle-room we have, or if we can do any business, which is still a question.
"We have a young bench, and we definitely need help. We need more competition in attack, although we still believe we still have player we can do more in that area as well. That's something we need to improve on.”
Mckay says he is also looking to be more effective in front of goal this season, but feels the team is improving as games go on.
He said: "I still feel fine and I'm still training.
"I know I need to be scoring more goals, but it's not like I'm missing chance after chance.
"I had a big chance against Montrose. I was concentrating more on just getting a good contact than picking a corner, maybe because I'd not scored in a while.
"I have been on these kind of runs before, but when I get out of it, I normally kick on and go on a good goalscoring run. That's what I've got in mind.
"I'm an experienced player, so I try not to let things like this affect me.
"I've had a chat with the manager about it and the bigger picture is I don't care who scores as long as we win games and stay in League One - that's our main aim. As long as we're winning, I'm happy.”
