Inverness Caledonian Thistle have announced Billy Dodds has been appointed as a coach on a temporary basis.

Speaking of the appointment, Inverness chief executive officer Scot Gardiner said: “Billy knows manager John Robertson and assistant manager Scott Kellacher personally and professionally.
"We thank him for stepping up to help us through this period while John and Kell are absent.”
“I know he has a great relationship with Neil McCann, Barry Wilson and Ryan Esson and he will do everything he can to assist our team and our coaches in the run in to the end of the season.”
“He is an enormously positive character and his knowledge and love of the game shines through whenever you speak to him.
"The fact that Billy lives in the Highlands was obviously a help in practical terms and his desire to join us and help the guys, gives us all a boost.”
