  2. 'We say proud a lot, but I am tonight' - Dodds

    FT: Inverness CT 1-0 Partick Thistle

    Inverness manager Billy Dodds tells BBC Scotland: "We knew we had to win tonight or the playoff dreams were probably over.

    "We say the word proud a lot in the dressing rooms but I am tonight as we had to win it the hard way.

    "We started well, then they took control as we just started launching it straight away, I'd have liked us to pass it a bit more.

    "We had to hang on.

    "I dont have to [see the red card challenge again], it’s cynical, it’s a trip.

    "I want to move on from it as we’ve had a lot of hard luck, and I know everyone had but we probably have more than most, and I'd rather move on as if I say something I'll get into trouble.

    "We’ll be appealing it."

    Tonight might prove to be a huge moment for Invneress, you don't know how big these three points could be

  4. As it stands

    FT: Inverness CT 1-0 Partick Thistle

    It's close at both ends of the table, to say the least.

  5. 'That's why you don't cut your fingernails as a goalie'

    FT: Inverness CT 1-0 Partick Thistle

    Inverness goalie, and player of the match, Mark Ridgers tells BBC Scotland that his save to deny Brian Graham in the first half was his most important of the night.

    He said: "That's the most important one. You know, that's why you don’t cut your fingernails [as a goalkeeper].

    "For me, it’s as good as a goal really.

    "It's all about building on this result and going for the playoffs.

    "We have a little opportunity still and we still believe."

  7. Elsewhere in the Championship

    Ayr United 3-0 Cove Rangers

    Queen's Park 0-1 Arbroath

    Both are full-time results.

    A remarkable win for Dick Campbell's side as they fight to stay in the league.

  8. FULL-TIME Inverness CT 1-0 Partick Thistle

    A terrific win for Billy Dodds' side as they win for only the second time in nine league games.

    Brian Graham had an effort thwarted by a superb Mark Ridgers save in a fairly uneventful first half.

    Nathan Shaw got on the end of a terrific Jay Henderson cross to score the goal's only game before Inverness' captain Sean Welsh saw red with 50 minutes gone.

    The away side attacked in waves and had a multitude of half-chances and scrambles in the box but failed to make their advantage count as they were continuously halted by some excellent Inverness defending and goalkeeping from Ridgers.

  9. Inverness CT 1-0 Partick Thistle

    James McFadden
    Former Scotland forward on BBC Sportscene

    James McFadden gives Ridgers the nod for player of the match.

    Inverness fans will be hoping he's not jinxed it with only a few minutes to go...

    Overall it's been a really assured performance by him. He's made crucial saves at crucial times for his team.

  10. Inverness CT 1-0 Partick Thistle

    Four minutes added time.

    Inverness had just broke on the counter but failed to seal all three points as they squandered their chance...probably due to some tired legs at this stage.

  11. Inverness CT 1-0 Partick Thistle

    Partick Thistle have had any number of chances in the last 10 minutes or so.

    They're heading towards their first defeat under the stewardship of Kris Doolan unless they can find at least one goal in the closing minutes.

    Maybe they could do with a prime Doolan up top right now...

  12. goal

    GOAL Queen's Park 0-1 Arbroath

    Dale Hilson

    No, don't hit refresh, you've read that correctly.

    What a shock this could be.

    -BBC Sport

  13. Inverness CT 1-0 Partick Thistle

    The drama isn't stopping and Partick Thistle still can't get it over the line.

    A downward header bounces up off of Ridgers before Tiffoney sticks a leg in and a pile-up almost ensues before the whistle goes to award Inverness a free-kick.

  14. Inverness CT 1-0 Partick Thistle

    Scott Tiffoney's show deflects wide off the inside of David Carson's legs.

    Ridgers collects the resulting corner with ease.

  15. Inverness CT 1-0 Partick Thistle

    Partick seem to have the ball in the Inverness box for an eternity.

    It gets stuck in amongst all of the legs and under the studs before they eventually win themselves a corner.

  16. goal

    GOAL Ayr United 3-0 Cove Rangers

    Jayden Mitchell-Lawson

    Lee Bullen's side have surely wrapped up three points this evening now.

    A playoff spot is certainly there's to lose now, no?

    -BBC Sport

  17. Inverness CT 1-0 Partick Thistle

    Partick Thistle are starting to threaten now but they're yet to make their man advantage count.

    Still, plenty of time for Kris Doolan's side to keep their unbeaten run intact.

  18. WATCH: Welsh sees red

    Inverness CT 1-0 Partick Thistle

    Was a red warranted here?

    Thumbs up for yes

    Thumbs down for no

  19. Inverness CT 1-0 Partick Thistle

    Lewis Hyde handballs it outside the area, giving Partick a free-kick in an enticing area.

    Kevin Holt steps up to take it but can only smack his effort off of the jumping wall.

  20. Inverness CT 1-0 Partick Thistle

    James McFadden
    Former Scotland forward on BBC Sportscene

    Partick Thistle can go direct now with two strikers up top. It could be a long half-hour for Inverness to hold out
