New name for Inverness Caledonian Thistle's stadium

The first home game of the new season at the renamed stadium is on Saturday

Inverness Caledonian Thistle FC's Caledonian Stadium has been renamed the Sarens PSG Stadium after a marine engineering company secured naming rights.

The 7,512 capacity ground as been the Highland club's home since late 1996.

Invergordon-based Sarens PSG, which works in the offshore renewables sector, has signed a three-year sponsorship deal with the League 1 club.

Inverness chairman Alan Savage said the deal was a "fantastic" piece of financial support.

Caley Jags got into financial difficulty last year after running up large debts and the club was placed into administration.

But in June agreements were reached with creditors that allowed Mr Savage to take over the club.

Following the Sarens PSG deal, Mr Savage said: "Let's hope other businesses small and big follow their lead to put Inverness Caley Thistle on a solid financial foundation, so it can invest in a team that can climb up the leagues."

Sarens PSG director Paul Clark said the company was "proud" to invest in the club.

He said: "The club has a passionate, ambitious fan base and a strong sporting tradition, and it will be an honour to see our name displayed on the stadium."

The club's first home game of the new season is against Peterhead on Saturday.
