Roddy MacGregor came off the bench to win it for Inverness CT with a superb strike

Roddy MacGregor netted a stunning late winner to down Raith Rovers and maintain Inverness Caledonian Thistle's perfect Scottish Championship start.

Billy Dodds' side have yet to concede, and made it six points from six when the 19-year-old substitute found the top corner from 25 yards.

Matej Poplatnik should have put Raith ahead, but Mark Ridgers saved smartly.

Shane Sutherland and Manny Duku went close for the hosts before combining to tee up MacGregor to settle it.

Defeat leaves Raith - who squandered a 4-0 lead to draw with Hamilton Academical last week - with one point from their opening two games.

Inverness head coach Billy Dodds: "It wasn't pretty. You knew the first goal was going to win it and it took a pretty spectacular one to do it from Roddy. He responded well to being left out."

Raith Rovers manger John McGlynn: "We were well organised. We certainly didn't want to lose four goals like we did last week late on. It took a wonder strike for them to score. We are gutted."
