Raith Rovers1–5Inverness CT

After a bad start Caley Thistle went on to a convincing win � their first at Stark�s Park. Stuart McCaffrey was harshly penalised for a tackle on Nacha Novo just inside the penalty area in two minutes and Novo scored from the penalty. In 11 minutes honours were even when Caley Thistle were awarded a penalty after Shaun Dennis was adjudged to have pulled Dennis Wyness�s shirt � Bobby Mann scored to make it 1-1. In 21 minutes Charlie Christie robbed Greg McCulloch just inside the Raith half then ran on to score from 18 yards with a low ball past the advancing Sammy Monin. Paul Ritchie made it 3-1 after 64 minutes with an angled shot in the box off the post then seven minutes later Ross Tokely scored with a close range header following a Barry Robson free kick from the right. An unfortunate piece of history was created in 77 minutes when Jim Calder came on for the injured Nicky Walker � the first time Caley Thistle have substituted a �keeper in a competitive match. Robson scored number five with just four minutes left when he took a Tokely defence-splitting pass, left Paul Browne sprawling and hit it neatly past Monin.
