    Nicky Low was excellent. He tired with what he put into the game, but Arbroath won't be too despondent with their performance tonight. It's a clean sheet and it gives them a real chance at home on Friday night. There will be a war cry from Dick.

  3. 'It's all to play for' - Lowpublished at 20:58 British Summer Time 10 May 2022

    FT: Inverness Caledonian Thistle 0-0 Arbroath

    Arbroath's Nicky Low tells BBC Scotland: "The gaffer had a game plan, we wanted to win the game but we obviously want to stay in the tie.

    "It's all to play for in the second leg. It's a tough place to come and we'll take this draw.

    "We'll go out to win it on Friday. It'll be tough, they've been tight games all season, but we'll have our home fans there and we'll give it our best shot.

  4. FULL-TIME Inverness Caledonian Thistle 0-0 Arbroathpublished at 20:54 British Summer Time 10 May 2022

    Both sides have been left frustrated in the first leg of the Scottish Premiership play-off semi-finals.

    Each team had their chances but failed to find that all-important goal as they go into the second leg at Gayfield level on aggregate.

    Will the Arbroath fairytale have another chapter? Or will Inverness meet the second-bottom side in the Premiership?

    Liam Hendeson does well to latch onto a ball heading towards the byline for the away side but fails to keep it in play as he stumbles on the turn.

    Inverness get on the attack quickly but fail to fashion an opportunity as a glancing Aaron Doran header goes out goal kick.

    Would either side settle for a draw now?

    A huge crowd will be expected at Gayfield for the second leg on Friday, coupled with the extra rest may well make Arbroath more confident of the sides heading into that clash.

    Tensions are high as a group of players clash in the middle of the park after Thomas O'Brien and Reece McAlear go in for a tackle.

    The referee swiftly disperses the group of players but managers Billy Dodds and Dick Campbell engage a few words on the touchline, too.

    Austin Samuels seems destined to score again but it is somehow cleared by Arbroath, as the Inverness striker can't sort out his feet just a yard or so from goal.

    The resulting corner comes to nothing as it goes out for an Arbroath goal kick.

    The likes of Nicky Low and Chris Hamilton in the middle of the field have not had the same influence in the second as they did in the first. Reece McAlear and Sean Welsh have been able to win more second balls and get their team further up the park.

  12. GREAT SAVE!published at 68 mins

    Inverness Caledonian Thistle 0-0 Arbroath

    Derek Gaston - what a save.

    Austin Samuels gets on the end of a ball goalside of the Arbroath defence and his strike seems destined to fly in the net but Gaston manages to push it past the post.

    Sensational.

    The best chance of the second half falls to Logan Chalmers.

    He collects the ball on the right-hand side of the box but his curling left-footed attempt back across goal trundles wide.

    Mark Ridgers launches a free-kick towards the Arbroath box but the home side can't quite get the attack to stick as they lose the ball.

    Jason Thomson can't quite meet a through ball that's put out of play for an Arbroath throw-in level with the edge of the box.

    Inverness win possession moments later before Austin Samuels is brought down in the centre circle as he attempts to launch a counter-attack.

    A yellow card is shown for Thomas O'Brien wiping out Samuels.

    An Arbroath free-kick is knocked back out of the area by the home side before it is volleyed over the bar by James Craigen.

    Dick Campbell's got to be happy at half-time with how his side have acquitted themselves. They were aggressive, got in the faces of the Inverness players - particularly Nicky Low and Chris Hamilton in the middle of the park, they picked up everything. The one warning sign was Inverness getting into it in the final five minutes of the half.
