Goals encourage Butcher

Thu 14 May, 10:24 AM


Inverness manager Terry Butcher is optimistic their goalscoring threat can keep them in the Clydesdale Bank Premier League after a 2-2 draw at Motherwell inched them closer to safety.

Caley Thistle were 11 minutes from securing their SPL place before Motherwell substitute John Sutton grabbed an equaliser to leave the visitors in the relegation equation.

But Butcher remained positive saying: "We have scored goals in the post-split, five goals in three games. We have also conceded goals but we still look as if we're going to score."

After goals from Filipe Morais and Dougie Imrie put the Jags in front, some complicated mathematics being done in the stands showed both St Mirren and Falkirk, who meet on Saturday, would not have been able to catch Inverness.

But Sutton's leveller maintained the five-way battle going into the final two games.

"We are still a threat, we are still positive, we are unbeaten now in four games," Butcher added.

"There are a lot of things you can spin it on but we know what we have to do now.

"When it comes down to the last two, in particular on Saturday, a win would keep us up."
