Inverness boss Craig Brewster hailed the effort of his team following their first ever victory over Aberdeen.

Goals from Andrew Barrowman and Roy McBain gave the Highlanders an opening day SPL win at Pittodrie.

"I thought team spirit and teamwork won us the game today," said Brewster. "We competed really well and looked dangerous on the break.

"I was confident in my players and what they've done over the last six weeks so that performance just confirmed that."

Brewster was also pleased for his two goalscorers with Barrowman finding the net on his debut and McBain scoring on his 300th appearance for the club.

"When you score goals at any level, I always believe you can score at the top level," added Brewster.

"Andrew wants to do well for himself and he wants to do well for the team. I'm excited about seeing him develop in the next three years.

"Roy's been a great servant to Caley Thistle and I'm delighted he got on the scoresheet today."
