FORAN IS CONFIDENT CALEY CAN SURVIVE

-

MANAGER Richie Foran is confident Inverness will start their run to Premiershi­p survival before it is too late.

The Highlander­s are bottom of the table, three points behind Hamilton with seven games remaining.

Foran’s side have not won in five games but, ahead of the visit of fourthplac­ed St Johnstone tomorrow, followed by a trip to fellow strugglers Motherwell, he said: “It’s coming. You need a wee break in front of goal.

“If we go 2-0 up, we’ll punish teams. The lads are keeping me confident with what I’m seeing in training every day.

“We have five strikers, so there’s tons of goals in us.

“We’ve got some great attacking midfielder­s and experience at the back, so it’s going to click. But it needs to click tomorrow.”

Inverness lost 1-0 to second-placed Aberdeen on Tuesday night while Hamilton and Motherwell fought out a goalless draw the following evening.

The Fir Park side remain one point ahead of Accies and asked if it was a relegation scrap between his side and the two Lanarkshir­e clubs, Foran said: “We can only look up — other teams will be looking over their shoulders and worrying.

“I believe we’re going to get these wins.

“We’ll focus on ourselves and St Johnstone coming here. We want to get in a very good place going into the split.”
