Inverness CT 2 - 2 St Mirren: Champions-to-be lose two goal lead
An early Harry Davis penalty had fired Saints into the lead after Coll Donaldson’s tug back of away striker Danny Mullen. Celtic-bound Lewis Morgan produced a classy free-kick midway with the champions-elect looking comfortable.

Ross, while seeing his team’s title lead trimmed from 14 to 12 points, looked at it as a point gained.
“It’s not easy to win leagues,” he said. “Rather than our lead being cut, it is more about gaining a point towards the total which means we can’t be caught.”
