 Strachan's side have now gone 24 games unbeaten in the league |
Celtic manager Gordon Strachan did not dispute the red card match-winner Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink was shown after the last-minute win over Inverness. "We can't complain," he told BBC Sport after the striker was shown a second yellow card for racing into the crowd.
"We know the rules. But it's different from stadiums where the crowd is miles away from you. It's right beside you at the back of the net."
The Dutchman's first yellow card came for disputing a throw-in decision.
Strachan saw Steven Pressley, Craig Beattie and Kenny Miller leave the field with injuries in a hard-fought match.
"There was a lot going on but not a lot of good football," he continued after the 2-1 victory.
"We got disrupted three times because of injuries and it's not easy to change your plan three times.
"We had to handle an exuberant, frantic Inverness side and we handled it.
"If we're lucky, we're lucky. But our goalie didn't have too many saves to make.
"But the players are very quiet because they know they've let themselves down with their performance level."
