Christie content in defeat

Inverness Caledonian Thistle head coach Charlie Christie thought his side played some of their best football of the season in the weekend clash with Celtic.
Christie was happy with his side's overall display and thought the 3-0 final scoreline to the Bhoys was not a fair reflection of the game.
"For 43 minutes, I was absolutely delighted," he said. Defensively, we got a couple of breaks, but you need that at Celtic Park. However, the goal in the 43rd minute changed the whole game.
"It was a big body-blow and you could see the guys were deflated.
"After the second goal, Celtic won comfortably as they usually do when they go 2-0 up at Celtic Park.
"I thought 3-0 was a bit hard on us but it was no disgrace, they are the best team in the country."
