Inverness Caledonian Thistle 0-0 Queen's Park: Leaders held but stay four points clear

Billy Mckay's shot is blocked by Queen's Park Lee Kilday

Queen's Park retained their four-point lead at the Scottish Championship summit despite being held to a goalless draw at Inverness Caledonian Thistle.

Queen's goalkeeper Calum Ferrie made three important saves to deny Billy Mckay - the first a header, the second with his foot from close range and the third a leap to his top corner.

Simon Murray had a shot from inside the box saved by Inverness' Mark Ridgers.

Second-placed Ayr's draw with Arbroath keeps the Spiders' lead intact.

Billy Dodds' side had gone into the game having scored 10 goals in two handsome victories but could not find the net against a side whose eight-game winning run came to an end with a Challenge Cup quarter-final defeat by Raith Rovers in midweek.

Inverness Caledonian Thistle manager Billy Dodds: "We had some great chances. I thought it was a really good game for a 0-0 - I can't believe it finished 0-0.

"I would love to have taken the three points, but we take the point and move on because that was an evenly matched game with two teams giving everything."

Queen's Park head coach Owen Coyle: "We certainly never felt we were going to lose the game, but I think Inverness did have moments, did have attacks. Did we have the best clear cut chances? Probably.

"But it was a tight game - it was always going to be as they are a good side with good players. Both teams will feel it's a point well earned."
