Two Goals from Chris Porter would have left us dead and buried at half-time had it not been for Ross Tokely "using his head" to bring us back into things just before the break. We didn't lose our trademark early goal in the second half, but Porter secured ownership of the match ball when he completed his hat-trick on 78 minutes. Caley Thistle were awarded a penalty in the 90th minute, and even though Smith managed to keep out the initial shot Rooney was on hand to nod it home and the game finished 3-2.
