ICT will have been in league for seven seasons

“They have both done well over different spells at the club and are two very good strikers Inverness have been fortunate to have.

“It doesn’t matter what league you play in, to score 100 goals or more is a terrific achievement.”

Partick Thistle, who finished fourth in the Championship, crushed third-placed Queen’s Park 8-3 on aggregate in last week’s play-off quarter-finals. They will take on runners-up Ayr United over the next two Fridays for the right to tackle the Premiership’s 11thplaced team once the top league concludes at the end of the month.

Caley Thistle, meanwhile, finished sixth and are now preparing for their seventh successive season in the Championship.

Golabek is in the history books as being the scorer of ICT’s firstever Premiership goal in season 2004-5.

They had just been promoted to that level and suffered a 3-0 opening day defeat at Livingston.

However, in their temporary home base of Pittodrie while the Caledonian Stadium was being made Premiership-compliant, they bounced back in their second game to beat Dunfermline 2-0.

A 25-yard strike from Golabek put ICT ahead early on, before Juanjo sealed the deal for the happy Highlanders.

Once they found their feet, Inverness settled and, in their debut campaign, finished in a comfortable eighth position.

Golabek remembers the goal fondly and was thrilled that it helped put their first victory on the board against a decent Dunfermline side.

He said: “It was one of those where I caught it sweetly and it went in off the post, I think.”
