Match report

Just after half time the home side had another good chance when McBrides floating header had to be hooked off the line by Mike Noble. On the 67 minute mark the visitors came close twice - a Barry Wilson cross was headed off the line by Russell and following the resultant corner a Brian Thomson drive screamed past the post.

The introduction of Inverness substitute Marco De Barros 9 minutes from the end caused problems for the home defence but despite a few close shaves in the dying minutes they held on for a draw.
