Inverness Caledonian Thistle
- Inverness Caledonian Thistle are the table-toppers in League One with 41 points from 22 matches.
- Inverness Caledonian Thistle boss Scott Kellacher has put a new look at the top of Scottish League One with his high-tempo, possession-based football since taking over in October 2024.
- His ICT side have won three, drawn one and lost just one of their last five in all competitions and have been particularly strong at home with back-to-back wins against Alloa Athletic (3-1) and Stenhousemuir (1-0 Challenge Cup win), and a 2-2 away draw at Queen of the South.
East Fife
- East Fife are 7th in the table with 25 points from 22 games, 16 fewer points than ICT.
- East Fife have lost their last 5 consecutive matches in all competitions.
Key Players
- Kellacher’s team plays a pro-active 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 style that presses high and plays through the middle, but their most important cog is midfielder Scott Allardice who sets the tempo and provides an anchor for their possession-based style.
- Nathan Shaw provides width and creativity from the left and can be a nightmare for defenses to contain with his runs and passes.
- Michael McKenna is the creative engine of the team and has 7 assists in 19 league games this term.
