Butcher hails winning blend

23 October 2010 21:01
Inverness manager Terry Butcher believes he has found a winning blend away from home by combining youth with experience and reaping the results. The Highland club beat Kilmarnock 2-1 at Rugby Park this afternoon to make it four away games unbeaten in the Clydesdale Bank Premier League this term. They have now taken 10 points from a possible 12 on their travels this season. Adam Rooney's disputed 42nd-minute penalty and a Johnny Hayes strike was enough to withstand a late Kilmarnock onslaught led by Rui Miguel's 75th-minute header. Butcher said: "People keep asking me how we're doing it away from home and I keep saying I haven't a clue, but what a bunch of players they are. "The first-half against St Johnstone last week, you'd think the players had never met each other before, but here they are battling hard for each other and by hook or by crook we held on and won the game. "We've played better than that this season, but sometimes you have to come to a place like this against a quality side and grit it out even if it's against your philosophy."
