Caley: No more Mr Nice Guys
ROSS TOKELY has hailed boss Terry Butcher for making Inverness shed their image as the SPL's nice guys.
Butcher recently spoke of the Highlanders being too nice and was determined to stop them being pushovers.
The new, hungrier approach paid dividends when they claimed what could be a crucial 2-1 win over St Mirren in their quest to remain in the SPL, the victory allowing Inverness to move ahead of both Saints and Kilmarnock.
Tokely – who netted a late winner in Paisley to secure all three points – said: "The gaffer has installed that sort of nastiness. He's a winner.
"There is good character in the team but we have maybe been a bit nice in certain goals and lost by the odd goal so it was nice to win."
Grant Munro scored a controversial opener before Saints hauled themselves back into the game through Jim Hamilton.
Tokely hit the winner seven minutes from time.
