Austin Samuels' goal earned Inverness Caledonian Thistle a point against Dundee

Dundee edged a point clear at the top of the Scottish Championship with two games remaining, despite losing a late goal at Inverness Caledonian Thistle.

Lyall Cameron's second-half effort looked like it was going to strike a decisive blow for Gary Bowyer's side, but Austin Samuels levelled with 15 minutes left to deny them victory.

It means Dundee nudge just ahead of Queen's Park, who they visit in the final game of the season.

Scottish Cup semi-finalists Inverness are four points back in third, but only have one game left to play.

Billy Dodds side will instead face League 1 Falkirk at Hampden next Saturday.

Inverness CT manager Billy Dodds: "Dundee edged the first-half without glorious chances. They looked the hungrier, we looked a bit jaded.

"We go a goal down and then there's another fightback and we finish quite strongly for a team that are quite tired. We finish with a flourish. My subs made an impact and that's what I want. "

Dundee manager Gary Bowyer: "We dominated the first half, but we needed to be better with our final pass and the decision making. We didn't work the goalie enough.

"The second-half the game became a bit scrappy but we scored a good goal. We had the domino effect of mistakes for their equaliser. It's something for us to keep working on and improving."
