Inverness boss Richie Foran insists the pressure has moved on to Hamilton after his side's 2-0 win at Dundee set up a final-day relegation showdown in the Premiership.

Two goals in the first 10 minutes from forwards Billy McKay and Alex Fisher saw off an uninspiring home side and took the Highlanders to within one point of Accies in the play-off spot.

Inverness, whose goal difference is five worse than Accies, host Motherwell on Saturday with Hamilton at home to the Taysiders.

Foran said: "All the pressure that was on our shoulders goes straight to the Hamilton players. We can go and enjoy Saturday with the same determination, same work rate.

"It's huge. I saw a real determination in the players this week. A real focus. We will look forward to it. We will be ready to go come Saturday.

"It was all or nothing. And I believe we've got big-game players. I won't name individuals but we've got big, big-game players,

"I saw the determination not to lose in their eyes, in the way they've gone about their business.

"It's out of our hands but we've given ourselves a chance. We've handled the occasion tonight. Can Hamilton handle the occasion on Saturday?

"I saw a lot of good play from Dundee. They will be going to Hamilton to be professional.

"It now puts massive pressure on Hamilton. It is a big game for them on Saturday.

"It was important to get that result for the supporters. It is a massive game on Saturday and one we look forward to.''
