League is priority for Butcher
Inverness boss Terry Butcher insisted the SPL game against St Mirren on Saturday was more important after seeing his side lose 6-0 at Celtic in the Co-operative Insurance Cup.
Georgios Samaras netted a hat-trick, Gary Hooper claimed his first competitive goal for the Hoops since signing from Scunthorpe in the summer and Anthony Stokes bagged a late brace at Parkhead.
Butcher, who made five changes to his side, quipped: "The best decision was referee Dougie McDonald not adding on any more time. I was pleading with him only to play 35 minutes in the second half.
"Any defender who had a pair of boots was playing, we had three defenders out. It wasn't nice for the fans to lose 6-0 and the goals we lost were criminal.
"But it was a balancing act, we had to rest a few players because the travelling takes its toll. We had to look to Saturday against St Mirren, that is the third game of the week and that is more important."
