Hibernian boss John Hughes fought his corner over the club's home record as their winless streak at Easter Road stretched to eight matches. The Edinburgh side were booed off at the finish of today's match as Inverness Caledonian Thistle fought back for a 1-1 draw.

Hughes, who has been dealt a blow with new striker Darryl Duffy ruled out for up to eight weeks with a broken foot sustained in training on Friday, has now seen his side fail to win at home since early March.

But he said: "We created enough chances to win the match, we played some nice stuff if a little bit slow.

"We should have won, but that's football, we need to take it on the chin.

"The true reality of the teams we have played at home [in the last six months] is that we've played the likes of Rangers, Celtic, Dundee United, Hearts and Maribor.

"If you're a victim of being in the top six and getting into Europe, then give me it next year as well.

"Inverness were resolute, dogged and they hung in there - credit where it's due.

"But we have to be ruthless in our finishing, definitely.

"I'm not going to point the finger of blame at anyone, it's just disappointing.

"When it went 1-1 we had a real crazy 10 minutes defensively and that was a little bit of a concern. I think one or two of them also need to find a bit of form."
