Billy Dodds was more than pleased to confirm that striker Billy Mckay has signed a new two-year deal with Inverness Caledonian Thistle.
Across his three spells with the Championship club, Mckay has played 246 games and has scored 100 goals and is just one goal away from equalling Dennis Wyness’ club goalscoring record.
The 34-year-old had been linked with fellow Championship side Ayr United but has decided to stay in the Highlands.
Head coach Dodds told the club’s official website: “We’re delighted that Billy has extended his stay with the club.
“Billy is a key player for us, he was our top scorer last season and is an ultimate professional.”
“While he had offers from a number of clubs, some of whom were competitors in the Championsh…
Competition: Euro 2016
Market: Spain to win against Turkey
Odds:
Defending champions Spain square off with Turkey at the Allianz Riviera for their second Euro 2016 Group D clash tonight, and are expected to come out on top to seal their place in the knockouts with a game to spare. Spain have started well in the tournament, while Turkey could find their hopes of progression very slim if they lose again.
Spain are top of Group D with three points from their opening game of the Euros, beating the Czech Republic by a single goal, and they’re expected to dominate their clash against Turkey. Vicente Del Bosque’s men were coming into the tournament off the back of wins against Bosnia Herzegovina and South Korea, and their last-gasp win over Czech sees them in g…

Nashville SC 1-2 Inter Miami: Alba stunner sees Herons maintain winning form without Messi and Suare
Jordi Alba filled in for his absent Inter Miami stars Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez as the Herons made it three MLS wins on the spin with a 2-1 victory over Nashville SC.
With his former Barcelona team-mates Messi and Suarez away at the Copa America, Alba provided the stardust as he volleyed home in the 44th minute on Saturday to put the away team 2-0 up.
The Spaniard s sensational strike, which came with an expected goals (xG) value of just 0.01, arrived four minutes after Ian Fray had headed home from Julian Gressel s corner to nose Miami ahead.
Yannick Bright s clumsy challenge on Tyler Boyd provided Hany Mukhtar the chance to drag Nashville back into the contest in the second half an opportunity the German duly took from the penalty spot.

Matthijs De Ligt believes the Netherlands have every chance of claiming their first international trophy since 1988 at Euro 2024.
De Ligt, who will be featuring in his third major tournament for the Oranje in Germany, did not feature in the final four games of their qualifying campaign through injury.
The 24-year-old endured another stop-start season with Bayern Munich, making 22 appearances in the Bundesliga and was left on the bench as the Netherlands concluded their preparations for the competition against Iceland earlier this week.
De Ligt has made 45 appearances for his country and is one of the more experienced players within Ronald Koeman s ranks heading into the tournament despite his age.
However, De Ligt is confident that the selected 26-man gr…
Spain captain Sergio Busquets has tested positive for COVID-19 just eight days before the team are due to begin their Euro 2020 campaign.
The news was announced on Sunday by the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF), which said Tuesday s planned friendly against Lithuania would now see Spain represented by the Under-21 team.
That is one of a number of measures being taken to avoid any further risks before Spain begin the upcoming tournament, with the entire squad isolating.
Spain, coached by Luis Enrique, start Euro 2020 against Sweden on June 14 in Seville.
The RFEF s statement read: The RFEF regrets to announce that its captain Sergio Busquets has given a positive result in the last PCR test that was carried out this morning at the national team tra…
Liam Gordon remains steadfast in his belief that St Johnstone can recover from their disastrous start to the season and preserve their cinch Premiership status.
The Perth club are five points adrift at the foot of the table and without a manager after Steven MacLean was sacked in the wake of Saturday’s 4-0 defeat at St Mirren – a ninth successive league match without a win.
Alex Cleland is in interim charge for Wednesday’s match at home to Kilmarnock, and captain Gordon is confident Saints – who have been in the top flight since 2009 – can get themselves out of their grim predicament in the months ahead.
“I 100 per cent believe we can turn it round quickly,” he said. “We’ve got a good squad here. We just need to start putting together performanc…
Matt O Riley is in good spirits and could come back quite fast as he recovers from ankle surgery, so says Brighton coach Fabian Hurzeler.
Brighton signed Denmark international O Riley from Celtic last month, but the midfielder sustained an injury on his debut.
O Riley was on the end of a poor challenge from Crawley Town s Jay Williams, and subsequently had to undergo surgery.
Ahead of Brighton s meeting with Ipswich Town on Saturday, Hurzeler said O Riley could return ahead of schedule.
He s in very good spirits. He has a great character, a great attitude, so immediately after the surgery he was very, very positive, Hurzeler said of the 23-year-old.
He is around us in the training ground, he is doing his rehab already and I think he will be comi…

Luis Suarez gave an emotional farewell message to Uruguay s fans after the final game of his international career ended in a goalless draw with Paraguay in Montevideo.
Suarez announced earlier this month that Friday s 2026 World Cup qualifier would be his final outing for La Celeste, who he helped win the 2011 Copa America and reach the 2010 World Cup semi-finals.
The former Liverpool and Barcelona man was unable to end his international career with a victory as Marcelo Bielsa s team were kept out by Paraguay.
Suarez played the full 90 minutes as captain as Uruguay registered just one shot on target in a meek performance, but the result could not put a dampener on post-match tributes to the striker.
Addressing the crowd, Suarez said: I have only words of…
