So much effort, but so little to show for it

Terry Butcher's proclamation that in his time as manager at Inverness Caledonian Thistle and previously at Motherwell that he had never witnessed such a one-sided game would probably not have found a dissenting voice on the Kilmarnock team bus.

Many among the visitors' squad would have been far too busy tr ying to discern just how they were leaving the Highlands with a point at all.

Kenny Shiels, the Kilmarnock manager, was not there to dispense tea and sympathy to his Inverness counterpart, but he would have surely spent the journey back down the road poring over the statistics of a match that very nearly passed his side by. The home side had myriad chances to score, a fact that came of no surprise to either manager, with Shiels reserving special praise for Cammy Bell; anointing him as Scotland's best goalkeeper at the moment.
