Partick midfielder Stuart Bannigan is a target for Caley Thistle.
Caley Thistle manager John Hughes has made an approach for Partick Thistle midfielder Stuart Bannigan.
The 23-year-old is out of contract with the Glasgow club in the summer, and Partick manager Alan Archibald has already resigned himself to losing the former Scotland under-21 international.
Bannigan is expected to miss the rest of the season with a knee injury but Hughes is already planning for next season and Caley Jags have made contact with Partick to inform them of their intention to speak to Bannigan.
Bannigan was a target of Aberdeen in January, with talk of a January transfer bid prompting Thistle manager Archibald to issue a threat to quit if the player’s sale was sanctioned by the Firhill board.
English League 1 side Barnsley have also been credited with an interest in Bannigan, who has made 161 appearances for the Jags, helping the club achieve promotion to the Premiership in 2013.
Inverness have just seven senior players signed up for next season, with midfielders Danny Williams and James Vincent having already signed pre-contract agreements with Premiership rivals Dundee.
