Inverness Caledonian Thistle boss John Hughes showed his delight at his side's defensive display in their victory away to Aberdeen.

Danny Williams's first-half goal was enough to guarantee the Highlanders a win for the first time in six games, but it was the performance of another forward that caught the manager's eye.

Hughes told BBC Radio Scotland: "Clean sheets win you football matches and when you have a guy like Billy McKay in your team, you're always capable.

"We were a bit lacking in a physical presence with suspensions and injuries, but we stood up to it."

Inverness are currently fourth in the Scottish Premiership, six points behind third-placed Motherwell.
