NATHAN Shaw is the latest injury concern at Inverness Caledonian Thistle after manager Duncan Ferguson confirmed he picked up a knock during the 0-0 draw with Dunfermline Athletic.

The midfielder suffered an injury in the goalless draw at the Caledonian Stadium on Tuesday night as Inverness remain in the relegation zone in ninth place.

Inverness were only able to name four outfield substitutes in the match due to the significance of the injury list.

Ferguson fears Shaw could become the latest name on the casualty list.

He said: "Unfortunately, Nathan looks like he has picked up a hamstring injury, he is a key player for us and looks like he is struggling."

Ferguson also said he will be looking to bring in new signings to address the lack of players available for selection.

He said: "We are trying to get a couple in if we can, so we are ongoing with that.

"We are looking to get one or two in because we need them because the squad is looking paper thin."

Despite the goalless draw, Ferguson said there were aspects of the match he was pleased with.

"I was disappointed we never scored a goal but pleased with the clean sheet as we are down to the bare bones.

"Wallace Duffy hadn't been training for four weeks, I put him right into the deep end and I think in the end we never created that many chances at all. Danny Devine had headers and the big moment was the penalty.

"But it was a game few chances, they had one chance when they rounded our goalkeeper and Danny Devine cleared it off the line.

"But we never got beat.

"We defended the box manfully but couldn't create that clear cut chance.

"The players put everything into the match."
