Match Report


Inverness Caledonian Thistle maintained their 100% record in the Scottish Championship with a victory over Covid-19-hit Ayr United.

Three Ayr players have tested positive for the virus and one is self-isolating, as manager David Hopkin's squad arrived depleted in the Highland.

Tom Walsh scored the only goal of the game for Inverness after good work by teammate Manny Duku.

Ayr drop to ninth with just one point, while Inverness have the maximum nine.
