John Hughes: 'Inverness Caledonian Thistle not in Scottish Premiership title race'

Inverness Caledonian Thistle manager John Hughes says that his team are not in the title race for the Scottish Premiership title.

Inverness Caledonian Thistle manager John Hughes has said that he does not believe that his team are in the running for the Scottish Premiership title.

The Highland club can move to within a point of second-placed Aberdeen with victory over Motherwell on Saturday, but Hughes has said that the Dons are more likely to challenge Celtic at the top of the league.

"If there is going to be a challenge to Celtic, I think it'll come from two of the bigger clubs, Dundee United and Aberdeen," Hughes told BBC Sport.

"I think the challenge to Celtic is exciting. That challenge coming from Aberdeen, pushing Celtic all the way, is good for Scottish football and inspires everyone else."

Celtic have won the last three Scottish Premiership titles, but are just three points above Aberdeen with 13 games remaining this season.
