Inverness CT 1-1 Kilmarnock
It is a let off for Kilmarnock this time as Miles Storey dinks a fine cross to the back post, but Josh Meekings somehow misses the target with his header from eight yards out.
HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 65mins
Inverness CT 1-1 Kilmarnock
Kris Boyd superbly bends a free-kick low round the Caley Thistle defensive wall and it strikes the outside of the post. Rory McKenzie has a great chance to find the target as the ball rebounds into his path, but the sriker skews it wide.

BBC Sport Scotland at Caledonian StadiumQuote MessageThat was a horror moment for Balatoni just at the point when Kilmarnock must have been starting to believe they could escape this relegation fight. Vital that they hang in and take at least a point

Inverness CT 1-1 Kilmarnock
Ross Draper goes close to giving Caley Thistle the lead in crazy fashion. His mis-placed shot is heading well wide but strikes Kilmarnock defender Miles Addison while prone on the ground only to spin just wide of the post.

Inverness CT 1-1 Kilmarnock (Greg Tansey)
Greg Tansey levels the game from the penalty spot, sending the ball low into the corner past the hands of despairing substitute goalkeeper Conor Brennan.

PENALTYpublished at 53mins
Inverness CT 0-1 Kilmarnock

CLOSE!published at 49mins
Inverness CT 0-1 Kilmarnock
It is Kilmarnock who have emerged on top after the break and Kris Boyd sends a diving header from a Julien Faubert just over the crossbar and then the striker is unlucky to be caught offside behind the home defence seconds later.
KICK-OFFpublished at 13.30
Caley Thistle get the second half underway perhaps wondering how on earth they are behind in this game - and how they might be dragged into the struggle to avoid relegation.

On BBC Radio Scotland
"A goal was what the game needed as Kilmarnock were just sitting in and hitting on the break. If that was the plan, it worked and it will probably be more of the same in the second half."

BBC Sport Scotland at Caledonian StadiumQuote MessageWhat a massive moment for Kilmarnock. The cries from the bench to Higginbotham were "hit it" and he did superbly for the goal. Inverness just didn't exploit their opportunities and are now facing a more uncomfortable run-in if they can't get on the scoresheet
Terrors horrorpublished at 13:20 British Summer Time 24 April 2016
That goal will have come as a hammer blow not just for Caley Thistle but also for Dundee United as they prepare to host Hamilton Accies in one of two later kick-offs.
A win for Kilmarnock would lift Lee Clark's side 11 points clear of the Terrors and would no doubt just about end Mixu Paatelainen's hopes of lifting the bottom side clear of relegation.
It would also drag Accies, and maybe even Caley Thistle, into the battle to avoid a play-off.

BBC Sport Scotland at Caledonian StadiumQuote MessageInverness CT clearly the more attacking side now but need to capitalise on their pressure. Kilmarnock perhaps need to take a few more risks to get greater numbers in advanced positions if they're to get in front
Inverness CT 0-0 Kilmarnockpublished at 40mins
Another chance for Caley Thistle as Ross Draper's header from an Iain Vigurs corner finds Josh Meekings at the back post, but the defender fires well wide on the stetch.

"Greg Tansey is very lucky there. He has already been booked and he pulled Kris Boyd back round his neck."
DISALLOWED GOALpublished at 37mins

Danny Willliams whips the ball into the Kilmarnock net, but the Caley Thistle winger had pushed his marker in the back and the whistle had already gone for a free kick.
