Inverness Caledonian Thistle manager player-manager Craig Brewster thought his side pushed Celtic all the way in Wednesday's SPL clash between the two team.
The Highlanders fell two goals behind but Marius Niculae's late goal led to some nervy last few minutes for the Bhoys before they were able to secure a 2-1 victory.
Brewster said after the narrow defeat: "When you come here you expect them to have most of the ball but we stuck to the game plan.
"When Nakamura whipped in the free-kick for their first goal I thought 'where did that come from'?
"I thought we'd weathered the storm at the start of the second half and I thought we did well to push Aiden McGeady back.
"But he put a cross in and Samaras bulleted a header past Fraser.
"Marius reacted to a mistake to slot the ball away and we're back in it. At the end of the game Celtic players were kicking the ball the way they were facing."
