Craig Dargo scores a second half double to grab all three points for the Caley Jags in this match at Fir Park, Motherwell. The result takes Caley Thistle into the top 6 of the SPL. Ian Broadfoot reports from the game.
A smash and grab raid at Motherwell took the three points and hoisted Caley Thistle up into the magic top six. Motherwell should have turned at half time in the lead but they squandered several chances and were denied by their former keeper Mark Brown.
Craig Brewster brought himself back into the starting eleven in place of Graham Bayne and Alan Morgan came in for David Proctor.
The Steelmen started well and in less than a minute Alan McCormack sliced wide from just inside the box. Four minutes later Shaun Fagan hit wide from 12 yards with only Brown to beat. Brian Kerr hit past the post in 12 minutes then in 22 minutes Brown tipped over an 18 yard drive from Fagan. David Clarkson was the next sinner as he hit wide from 12 yards. A minute before the whistle McCormack shot straight at Brown then Darren Dods cleared off the line from Scott McDonald.
Caley Thistle created very little in the first half and Motherwell keeper Graeme Smith had an easy time as Barry Wilson shot wide, Dods struck the side netting and Ian Black hit off target.
Half Time: 0-0
Into the second half and Motherwell were unlucky when a Brian Mclean goal-bound shot was deflected onto the post by Ross Tokely. The home side were stunned in 63 minutes when Caley Thistle took the lead. Brewster sent a ball through for Craig Dargo who stayed onside and hit it through Smith's legs. Smith saved well from Black in 74 minutes then Clarkson nearly equalised with a header that came off the post.
The game was over in 88 minutes when Dargo scored his second when Richie Hart sent a square pass from the right and Dargo hit the ball between Smith and the post.
Full Time: 0-2
A fine afternoons work and revenge for September's 2-1 home defeat.
