Strachan happy with latest win

Strachan said his side played some great football against Inverness

Celtic manager Gordon Strachan said he was happy with how his side performed for 70 minutes in the 2-1 victory over Inverness at Celtic Park.

"We played the game how we wanted to play it - patience and variation and not too many long balls," he said.

"For 70 minutes it was absolutely terrific football and it could've been a lot more."

Strachan said Scott Brown's mistake which led to Inverness' goal made for a nervy finish to the game.

Goals by Scott McDonald and Georgios Samaras looked to have Celtic on course for a routine victory.

But with 20 minutes to go Inverness striker Marius Niculae took advantage of Brown's misplaced pass to pull a goal back.

"It's always possible you could lose two points if you give a goal away like we did," said Strachan.

"If you do that then there is the possibility that something strange will happen but we stood firm.

"But I'm not going to stick bamboo shoots up his fingernails. It's something that you have to deal with."
