I played for Inverness & experienced Celtic cup final heartache three days later

Young Celtic goalkeeper Marcus Gill has rejoined Inverness Caledonian Thistle. 

The 17-year-old initially signed for the Highland outfit on an emergency one-game loan last weekend. 

Gill completed 90 minutes and kept a clean sheet as Inverness defeated recently-crowned League One champions Arbroath by three goals to nil.

He then returned to his parent club three days later and played for Celtic's B side in their Glasgow Cup final loss to Rangers. 

Now, not long after experiencing heartbreak at Firhill, Gill has made the move back to Inverness, albeit for one game, as they take on Montrose in their final match of the season this afternoon. 

"The loan players that have come in have been brilliant," said Inverness boss Scott Kellacher. 

"Celtic have helped us out with (head of youth) Chris McCart, (keeper coach) Colin Meldrum and (B team coach and ex-ICT winger) Jonny Hayes. As much as it’s other coaches at clubs, there are also players there, who have been here, that have helped us as well, and we trust.

"I can’t thank these clubs enough, because they have helped us out a lot and I’m grateful for that."

Inverness have secured safety and know they will play their football in Scotland's third tier going into next season.  

Depending on today's results, they could finish sixth, seventh, or eighth in the table.
