Christie hails three-goal haul

Christie believes win was more impressive given Hibs form

Inverness manager Charlie Christie hailed his side's first half performance following the 3-0 victory over Hibernian.

"I thought we were tremendous in the first half and after we got the first goal we put Hibs to the sword for the next 20 minutes," he said.

"We were able to pin them back and that was pleasing, particularly because of how highly I rate Hibs.

"It was a first-class showing from my players, we can be a match for anyone."

The downside for the Highlanders was a dislocated shoulder suffered by Craig Dargo who opened the scoring.

"We think Craig dislocated his shoulder, but the good news is that they managed to pop it straight back in and that will certainly shorten the healing time," Christie added.

"We imagine he will be out for a month at the minimum, but we still have good options up-front in Rory McAllister, Graham Bayne and Gary McSwegan."
