Dundee attacker Charlie Reilly has joined Inverness Caley Thistle on loan until January.
But the move comes as the Highland club – managed by former Dundee United star Duncan Ferguson – braces itself for administration after a bid to secure lifeline investment failed.
Our sister title The Press and Journal understands the League One club stand to lose £1.2million this season, with significant cash needed before the end of the year.
Former Inverness chairman Alan Savage, a consultant for the club in recent months, has been trying to find a buyer.
But it appears administration is now inevitable, with contact already made with BDO, the accountancy firm who oversaw the liquidation of Rangers.
Uncertainty in Highlands
After 22-year-old Reilly’s Inverness announcement, one Caley fan wrote: “Not being funny, a loan player isn’t exactly what we’re concerned about today.
“By all means, welcome to the club, but we want info.”
Another added: “Cheers for talking about the bigger picture right now.”
And one Inverness supporter asked: “Will we make it to January?”
The situation means former Albion Rovers star Reilly and his new team-mates – including on-loan Tangerines goalie Jack Newman – could face an uncertain few months.
Dundee FC wrote on X: “Everyone at the club wishes Charlie all the very best for his time at Inverness.”
