Scottish Conservative leader Douglas Ross has held talks with Caley Thistle chief executive Scot Gardiner to discuss financial problems football is facing.
Ross, who is also a football referee, held a call with representatives from clubs across Scottish football to hear the financial impact of no fans being in grounds,
Gardiner has urged more action to be taken in order to secure the future survival of clubs and ensure fans have clubs to return to support.
Following the discussion, Ross says he will be bringing forward options to help keep clubs like Caley Thistle in the weeks and months ahead, who are the lifeblood of communities, including in Inverness and the wider Highland region.
Ross said: “It was really useful and insightful to hear direct from Inverness Caledonian Thistle about the perilous state of the game at the moment and what they need to survive.
“I obviously have a huge personal interest in football but that’s not the only reason that I wanted to have this discussion.
"Every political leader should be working to help our game recover and rebuild.
“I’ve taken onboard what I heard and I’ll be bringing forward options to keep clubs like Inverness Caledonian Thistle afloat in the near future because there’s no doubt that they need our help.”
