Butcher: It was like a training match for Celtic
Goals either side of half-time from Georgios Samaras and Scott Brown gave Celtic third third win of the season over Butcher’s side as the visitors made it 15 domestic wins on the bounce.
Inverness went out of the League Cup to First Division part-timers Ayr United but the former England World Cup hero felt that today’s defeat was more disappointing.
“It was like a training match for Celtic today,” Butcher claimed. “They worked harder than us and that is an awful thing to say.
“I can’t believe how frustrating it is and how disappointed I am. We just let everybody down.
“Celtic could have scored more goals and the only positive I can take from the game is that we only lost 2-0.
“We hardly had a shot, we hardly had a cross and we hardly had any decent play in their half and the penalty was a comedy of errors.”
Caley Thistle striker Jonny Hayes was just as devastated tweeting: “Apologies to anyone who paid for that today! Terrible performance mainly from myself! No excuses against a better team.”
