Inverness CT clinched the league title in style with this decisive win. They took the lead in 6 minutes when a powerful Christie shot was parried by Ross and Thomson pounced to score from close range.

Against the run of play Albion equalised in 37 minutes with a Moore header but in 44 minutes it was 2-1. Stewart slipped the ball inside from the right and Thomson hammered it home from just inside the area.

In 66 minutes the hat trick seemed certain when Thomson sent Ross the wrong way but it hit the keepers legs. In 74 minutes Wilson made it 3-1 after a good run and shot and 4 minutes later De-Barros scored a superb solo goal - he ran into the box, recovered from a trip and volleyed home from 15 yards.

The contest was over and Inverness CT were champions
