Foran says....
I won't show any sentiment towards Motherwell, vows Caley Thistle new boy Richie Foran
Feb 27 2009
INVERNESS Caledonian Thistle striker Richie Foran insists there will be no love lost when former side Motherwell visit his new home this weekend.
The 29-year-old was signed by Terry Butcher during his previous spell as Motherwell boss in 2004 - bagging 23 goals in 90 appearances for the Steelmen.
Now Butcher has brought his former charge back north of the border - and been instantly rewarded after the Irisnman opened his Inverness account in last weekend's 2-0 win over Hibernian.
And Foran is hoping for more of the same this weekend, despite coming face to face with old friends.
"I still keep in contact with a few boys there and, in all fairness, I had a really good time there," he said.
"It's like Inverness in the way it's a well-run club and has that type of family atmosphere to it where everyone's pulling together for each other.
"I have great memories of my spell at Fir Park. In fact, I was actually looking forward to going back there and playing but it's a home game for us and that's great for us to have a better chance of getting the three points.
"I think Motherwell will be okay, we'd like to drag them into the scrap but they'll be pushing for top six. They have a good squad, manager and play some good football.
"Hopefully, we can take three points off them on Saturday though.
"I've seen the highlights of their game against Celtic and they opened them up a fair bit, but hopefully with home advantage, we can do the same thing and get a couple of chances."
I say feckye! May all yer shites be hedgehogs!
