And Butcher was quick to single out old campaigner Munro for a special word of praise.
The stopper rifled home a stunning strike to put Inverness 2-1 up at the start of a chaotic second period and his manager said: "It had to be Grant Munro of all people.
"I've got to say the attitude of Grant, Chris Innes and subs Stuart Golabek, Eric Odhiambo, Russell Duncan and Danni Sanchez, the ones I'd released, was spot on. They showed magnificent character.
"There had been a big black cloud over Caley Thistle - but that was certainly lifted tonight.
"The attitude of the players was spot on and the Celtic game came at the right time. The players had to refocus on this game and nothing else.
"This was a free game for us. We didn't have any pressure to get the result. We just wanted to show that we could play a damn sight better than we did on Saturday.
"We'll have a look again at Grant Munro's situation and he certainly didn't do himself any harm tonight.
"Every player here is playing for their future, contracted or not.
"Grant responded in the right way, the correct way and a magnificent way.
