Inverness Caledonian Thistle 2-2 Ayr United
- Published
Mark McKenzie's goal brought Ayr level
Scottish Championship leaders Ayr United had their lead cut to a point after they were denied by a late Inverness Caledonian Thistle leveller.
Nathan Shaw's equaliser, his second of the game after opening the scoring, means the visitors' lead over Morton and Dundee is now a slender one.
Mark McKenzie had levelled and Dipo Akinyemi gave Ayr the lead in the final 10 minutes with his 14th in 16 games.
But Inverness, missing nine players, snatched a point.
Inverness Caledonian Thistle head coach Billy Dodds: "It was a collective but there were some good individual performances.
"I was delighted with the spirit and the quality. We had to ride our luck at times in the second-half. I thought we deserved more out of the game but we'll take a point."
Ayr United manager Lee Bullen: "I think there were spells where both teams felt they weren't going to get anything out of it.
"When you go 2-1 up with six, seven, eight minutes to go you hope to see it out. But it didn't happen that way. To be honest with you, it would have been harsh on Inverness."
