    COLIN HAMILTON!

    A long cross from Nicky Low finds Hamilton at the back post, he nods across goal and it loops... and loops... and smacks the bar!

    Nicky Low then tries from distance, it's deflected and goes inches wide!

    Robbie Deas is now into the book too, alongside Lewis Hyde, for an off the ball incident. Craig Wighton has his name taken too.

    Michael McKenna misses!

    Inverness are defending desperately, the ball from the corner bounces to McKenna but he curls his shot wide from twelve yards out.

    Is this, somehow, going to be Inverness' night?!

    What's wrong with that? That's ludicrous. That's beyond a joke. That is pathetic refereeing. Willie Collum is standing five yards away!

  6. RED CARDpublished at 113 mins

    Arbroath 0-0 Inverness Caledonian Thistle

    OH MY!

    Wallace Duffy is off!

    The full-back flies into a tackle and Willie Collum doesn't give anything initially... and after an eternity, he blows the whistle and produces a second yellow card!

    Inverness are down to nine men!

    Nicky Low from distance!

    He's been a contender for man of the match and he saw an opportunity, but his long-range effort bounces just wide of the post.

    Jack Hamilton has been replaced meanwhile, with former Dunfermline Athletic, Dundee and Hearts striker Craig Wighton to come on.

    Low tries again from distance moments later, and it fizzes wide again.

    Will Billy Dodds' side want penalties? Will they try and snatch a winner before then?

    We haven't seen Derek Gaston in the Arbroath goal for a while, so you might suspect the former.

    Double substitution for Arbroath.

    Liam Henderson and David Gold coming on to replace Chris Hamilton and Thomas O'Brien.

    Any good at penalties, lads?

  10. HALF-TIME Arbroath 0-0 Inverness Caledonian Thistlepublished at 21:58 British Summer Time 13 May 2022

    The tension is palpable. Are penalties inevitable?

    Half-time in extra-time and the next fifteen minutes will require a huge effort from both sides. This result MUST be decided tonight.

    And then there's still two play-off games for the victor!

    Oh what a chance for Colin Hamilton!

    Nicky Low scurries into the box and clips to the back post, and Hamilton can only plant his header into the side netting. Big opportunity!

    It was the hard work of Bobby Linn that set it all up. He's running Wallace Duffy ragged and the Inverness right-back already has a yellow card.

    Big chance! Huge chance!

    Jack Hamilton hares onto Nicky Low's through ball. His first touch takes him wide and he can't slot underneath Mark Ridgers. Arbroath's best chance so far!

  13. KICK-OFFpublished at 90 mins

    Arbroath 0-0 Inverness Caledonian Thistle

    Lewis Hyde is on, with Shane Sutherland already off the pitch.

    Inverness have a potshot straight from kick-off. One on target, at least.

  14. EXTRA TIMEpublished at 21:40 British Summer Time 13 May 2022

    FT: Arbroath 0-0 Inverness Caledonian Thistle

    180 minutes and these sides could not split.

    Inverness have held on with nine men, and briefly eight, but they'll go back up to ten men for the next half hour as they can finally replace the injured Shane Sutherland.

    Arbroath have pushed and pushed, but they've found no way through. Both sides will tire, chances will surely follow, but can anyone take them?

    Let's head to extra-time and find out.

    Arbroath 0-0 Inverness Caledonian Thistle

    Wallace Duffy wipes out Bobby Linn in the corner, and goes into the book.

    Last chance for Arbroath to nick it before extra-time... Michael McKenna goes short to Linn, who crosses. It's headed away and whipped back in, it drops and Billy Mckay clears behind!

    Low crosses... and Jack Hamilton misses a free header!

    Arbroath 0-0 Inverness Caledonian Thistle

    Kirk Broadfoot is down now, with blood pouring from his head. Might this be the most dramatic 0-0 of all time?

    Anyway, it's heading for extra-time as we stand. We believe Inverness will be able to replace Shane Sutherland in extra-time, going back up to ten men instead of nine.

    Arbroath 0-0 Inverness Caledonian Thistle

    Bobby Linn drops the shoulder and fires an effort at goal - he's denied by the face of Sean Welsh. Arbroath's talisman looks like he might be the difference in the closing stages of the ninety minutes.

    Jason Thomson is off for the hosts, with Luke Donnelly coming on. An attacking change.

    Defensively, Inverness have played well. They've not been over-exposed and they've managed what Arbroath have thrown at them fairly well. That side of the game will please Billy Dodds immensely but this tie is on a knife edge.

  19. ouch!

    Ouch!published at 21:24 British Summer Time 13 May 2022

    Arbroath 0-0 Inverness Caledonian Thistle

    Shane Sutherland is down, slapping the turf in agony. One of those innocuous, no-one-near-him, kind of his injuries. He's on the stretcher.

    Awful on a human level, and not great on a tactical one. Billy Dodds has used all of his substitutes, so he's now down to nine men.

    This is not going Inverness' way right now.
