Summary:"[Steven Davis] seems to be enjoying it here, " said [WALTER SMITH]. "He made his debut against Panathinaikos and it wasn't easy but I felt he handled it. He was excellent again tonight, as was Christian. "I did not see it coming, " said [Stephen Frail]. "We were toothless in all areas of the pitch: we did not make tackles, did not not test their keeper and never got into the box. Tonight we had a poor performance from every player. We have sold our top scorer [[Andrius Velicka]] but even if he played I don't think he would have had many chances." "My players were probably saying to themselves: 'After all the good work, is it going to be one of those crazy results', " said [Gordon Strachan]. "So they they were having difficulty with their minds at that point, which is understandable. But Inverness never had another chance. Balls came into the box but we defended them well. But for 70 minutes it was good stuff from us. I liked what I saw."
