    FT: Inverness CT 2-1 Kilmarnock

    Right, that's our coverage done for the night.

    Derek McInnes is still in the dressing room so no TV interview, but we'll put quotes from him on our dedicated Kilmarnock page.

    Anyway, it's Inverness' night. They weren't even supposed to be here after defeat by Queen's Park, only for their opponents to be chucked out.

    Now they're one game from the final. We'll have full coverage of the other three ties this weekend.

    But for now, ciao!

    Queen's Park beat Cove Rangers 1-0 to extend their Championship lead to five points, FYI.

  3. 'I enjoyed watching my players'published at 21:56 Greenwich Mean Time 10 March 2023

    FT: Inverness CT 2-1 Kilmarnock

    Inverness CT manager Billy Dodds on BBC Scotland: "I was quite calm. I trusted my players. I thought we were the better team. Kilmarnock put us under pressure with long balls in the second half.

    "But I just stood back and enjoyed watching my players tonight. I would like a shot in the Premiership.

    "A lot of my players could do it. I think that's the case. If you do it [beat a top-flight side] once, people say it's a one off. But if you do it two or three times, it's self explanatory.

    "I want them to enjoy it and realise what they've done. But we still have an opportunity in the league as well. We want to have a wee go of getting to the play-offs, it'll be difficult but we're capable."

    Neil McCann
    Former Rangers winger on BBC Scotland

    Inverness were so brave. And I don't just mean throwing their bodies into tackles.

    They played through the lines and played lovely football.

  6. Inverness 'streets ahead'published at 21:48 Greenwich Mean Time 10 March 2023

    FT: Inverness CT 2-1 Kilmarnock

    Cammy Bell
    Former Kilmarnock goalkeeper on BBC Scotland

    Kilmarnock gave away possession far too cheaply. They didn't test the Inverness goalkeeper at all.

    Inverness were streets ahead of Kilmarnock tonight.

  7. 'Perfect performance'published at 21:45 Greenwich Mean Time 10 March 2023

    FT: Inverness CT 2-1 Kilmarnock

    Inverness CT striker Billy Mckay, who was named man of the match, has been giving his reaction.

    "Just buzzing, buzzing," he told BBC Scotland.

    "I thought the lads were brilliant from minute one. We had a little setback. But this just shows what Inverness is all about.

    "We've had a good cup run before and we've done it again.

    "I thought we were unlucky to be level going in at half-time but then we get the goal and held on and showed great character at the end.

    "The perfect performance."

    Nothing doing for Killie. Caley Thistle are 30 seconds from Hampden...

    Two minutes of added time left.

    Can Kilmarnock create anything? Inverness look more likely...

  12. CLOSE!published at 90 mins

    Inverness CT 2-1 Kilmarnock

    Danny Arsmtrong stands with his arms on his head.

    He jinks in off the right and curls a shot just wide of the far post.

    Kilmarnock are putting Inverness under pressure, but no quality so far.

    FOUR added minutes.

  13. GREAT SAVE!published at 89 mins

    Inverness CT 2-1 Kilmarnock

    Austin Samuels scampers away on the break for Inverness!

    Jeriel Dorsett sprints back to put some pressure on the striker, but he gets a shot away.

    Sam Walker saves down low to his left.

    A change in midfield for Inverness. The brilliant Jay Henderson is replaced by Roddy MacGregor.

    Former Hearts midfielder on BBC Scotland

    The service up to them has been poor, but when Kilmarnock have got the ball into the strikers the quality hasn't been good enough in front of goal.

    Credit to the Inverness young team, by the way. They've sung their hearts out and created a decent atmosphere.

    Anyway, Kyle Vassell blasts off target for Killie.

    Seven minutes plus stoppage time for Caley Thistle to hold on.

    A half chance for Inverness, but it was difficult for David Carson to generate any power on a bouncing cross and his header harmlessly loops up.

    Inverness CT 2-1 Kilmarnock

    Jeriel Dorsett, Fraser Murray, and Scott Robinson are all on for Kilmarnock as Derek McInnes rolls the dice.

    Rory McKenzie, Luke Chambers, and Joe Wright all make way.

    I didn't even realise Jordan Jones came on at half-time for Christian Doidge...
