Inverness now a year on the road undefeated

Inverness boss Terry Butcher revealed the struggle to get through the snow and down from the Highlands to draw 2-2 at Celtic. "It's 52 weeks now, we will try to make it through to the end of 2010," the former Rangers defender said.

"But we had the journey from hell today. I live up in the hills now and left the house at 7am when there was a foot of snow.

"I was coming down the hill to Loch Ness and it was scary. We left Inverness at 8.30am and got here just at 2pm when the team sheets had to be in.

"We rushed to get to the pre-match meal, rushed to get here, rushed to get on to the pitch, so no wonder we didn't play well in the first half.

"But the players don't moan, they are no histrionics, no Billy-big timers, there is a real good spirit.

"The players get the duvets, the pillows and get on the bus, they just get on with it.

"There's a lot of mutual respect between the lads, they are a strong unit.

"There is a lot of belief about us and it showed."

On Hamer's performance, Butcher said: "I wanted the referee to be anonymous and he was.

"I hope that the headlines are about our performance and the game which it should be.

"If the referee is anonymous, then he has had a great game."
