INVERNESS striker Shane Sutherland has pledged to put in a performance against Queen of the South this weekend that underlines his commitment to the club.
John Robertson, the Inverness Caledonian manager, was irked at the midweek draw with Morton as the Highlanders failed to take all three points despite playing with a numerical advantage for more than an hour.
Robertson suggested afterwards that too many of his players were reluctant to follow out instructions while also challenging them to prove they were good enough to be at the club.
“Hopefully it is in the heat of the moment after a disappointing result,” said Sutherland of his manager's frustrations. “I look around the changing room at my team-mates and I don’t think that. It’s up to us to show the manager on Saturday ‘look, we do care’.

“I do care. The manager is disappointed but we’ll take those words and react in the right way.
“You need to do it for yourself first and foremost and then for the team. You need to look after yourself, do the right things in training and games.
“For me personally, I’m going to take it on board and show him I do care. If it means I have to go the extra yard and do the dirty stuff, then I’m sure every single one of the players will do that.”
Meanwhile, Morton’s Cameron Blues who levelled the scores on Wednesday is hoping his luck has turned after missing the last six weeks.
“I got concussion in training and then I tested positive (for Covid),” he said. “I’m glad to be back in the team and scoring goals.
“I’ve not had much luck but you just need to keep ticking away, be positive and be confident you’ll do well when you get back in the team.”
