Inverness 24h On

It was in the era of Deans, Goldthorpe and McCloy that a the feat last occurred (1-0 at home to Killie then 3-1 at Dens Park). That run extended to four consecutive victories. Dare we hope for the same again?

There's no arguing that any team which wins a game thanks to a last minute penalty has had a deal of good fortune and so McGhee's conclusion that we were lucky to win stands up but let's not pretend that the hold we had on the second half deserved anything less than three points.

Had Inverness returned north with a win bonus in their pockets there might have been cries of robbery ringing in their ears. The tactical switch to 4-4-2 at half time produce lots of action in the ICT penalty area and their goal, though well taken, came against the flow of the half.

The spirited nature of our recovery lends support to McGhee's philosophy that quick passing allied to strength and fitness is the key to success. This was epitomised by Clarkson and McGarry. The pair must have covered miles chasing and harrying and it was satisfying to see that Clarkson's final run into the box lead to the penalty.

There was more delight to see O'Donnell both score the equaliser and to last for the full ninety minutes. He shows the value of having an 'auld heid' in the team.

Kilmarnock are next on the list. Three in a row?
