Revenge mission for Butcher troops

17 February 2011 17:00
Inverness manager Terry Butcher is eager for revenge against St Johnstone in the Clydesdale Bank Premier League on Saturday. Saints inflicted Caley Thistle's first defeat away from home for more than a year when Collin Samuel netted a late winner at McDiarmid Park on January 2. In the five SPL matches since, Inverness have recorded three draws and two defeats, while winning two Scottish Cup clashes against lower-league opposition. After seeing his side soar to fourth place earlier this season, Butcher is now desperate for a return to winning ways having been without a league victory since November. "We haven't had a win in the SPL for ages," he said. "It's a good game for us, St Johnstone, because they're a team we haven't beaten this year. "We lost one a few minutes before the end at Perth so it would be nice to get revenge, and because they're one of our rivals for the top six it would be nice to put a bit of daylight between ourselves and them as well."
