Blood&Blue – Season 2026/27 Review
Boy, has this one been delayed, eh? Not sure if many of you were waiting for it, slowly ruining your manicures with nervous nail-biting; regardless of that, fear no more for it has arrived.

The following day the Caley Thistle will host the Jambos. “It’s always a special fixture”, says Robertson, “No doubt. Do I have unfinished business with them? Could…
