Butcher: Odhiambo's goal like an oasis
Inverness manager Terry Butcher praised Eric Odhiambo for his winning double in a 2-1 win at St Mirren and said the result showed he was right to rest the striker for the club's midweek cup defeat.
The English forward netted either side of half-time in the Clydesdale Bank Scottish Premier League match, his team's 2-1 win meaning they have now taken all seven of their league points this term on the road. Paul McGowan scored the consolation for the home team.
Butcher, whose side lost 6-0 at Celtic in their midweek League Cup tie, said: "The boys came into the game under a bit of pressure, having lost nine goals in two games and not taking any points last week.
"I'd deliberately left players out on Wednesday ahead of this game and hoped they'd justify that here - Odhiambo had two lovely finishes, but I don't think he'd have done that if he'd played on Wednesday, one or two were starting to get a bit leggy towards the end because they put a shift in then.
"It was a little bit of quality at the right time as it it was a wretched first half, so the goal was like an oasis, a shining light.
"This was a great three points for us against a spirited St Mirren side, and now we've taken seven out of nine points away, although none at home yet."
