Inverness CT manager Billy Dodds has expressed his disappointment after the club finished out with the Premiership play-off positions.
And he admits the blow has scuppered his preparations for next month's Scottish Cup final against Celtic as he searches for friendly matches to warm up for the Hampden showpieces After seeing off Falkirk to reach the final, Caley Thistle needed a win over Ayr United to give themselves a chance of qualifying for the play-offs
They ultimately lost that clash 2-1 and as a result ended up sixth in the table and it has left Inverness with a 29 day break between games instead of being kept fresh with regular matches through the play-offs. Dodds has admitted it's not an ideal situation to face but the squad will return for some friendlies in due course ahead of facing Celtic. He said: “I have got to give the boys a well-earned rest. It’s been a long season.
