Black aims to put one over future employer

HEARTS-BOUND midfielder Ian Black insists he is doubly determined to inspire Inverness to a much-needed victory at Tynecastle on Saturday.
The Scotland B cap wants to show Hearts manager Csaba Laszlo what he can expect in the summer when the playmaker makes the move back to his home city.

And Black is also desperate to help the managerless Highland club emerge with maximum points as they look to climb off the SPL basement.

Despite the sacking of Craig Brewster on Monday following a poor run of results, Black insists he can't wait for the weekend encounter.

He said: "It's obviously a massive game, not just for me but for all the boys and we want to turn things around and get a result. My main aim is help Inverness and get them away from the situation they are in at the minute and hopefully that will come with a good performance to prove to Csaba that he was right to sign me.

"I've not played since the Rangers game at the start of the month but hopefully I'm selected to play on Saturday."

The 23-year-old cut a frustrated figure looking on from the bench during last Saturday's 1-0 loss to fellow strugglers Hamilton and was not even stripped for the Homecoming Scottish Cup win over Partick a week earlier.

Brewster gave the player no explanation over his omission from the team but Black is keeping his fingers-crossed he will be recalled under caretaker manager Graeme Bennett against Hearts. He said: "It's been hard to take not playing but that was the manager's decision at the time and you have to respect that."
