Match report
Inverness Caledonian Thistle beat Morton 2-0 in the Championship on Thursday evening, moving further clear of the bottom half. The hosts controlled proceedings from the first whistle, though their dominance showed in territory rather than clear-cut chances. By then it was clear enough who wanted it more, and the visitors had nothing to lose.
P. Allan opened the scoring in the 26th minute, a goal that settled the nerves of a home crowd still waiting for this side to hit their stride. The visitors replied with stubbornness rather than creativity, and to be fair they stayed compact until the break. Inverness kept their shape and waited for the moment to strike again.
The second half brought the breakthrough they needed. A. Bavidge doubled the lead in the 66th minute, and suddenly the match had a rhythm that the visitors could not find. Morton made changes at both ends of the pitch, but the substitutions did not shift the balance. Inverness saw it out with a discipline that had been missing in their earlier results.
Statistically the match told a familiar story. The hosts registered 94 attacks against 61 for the visitors, with 59 per cent possession on their side. They took 10 shots, five on target, yet created zero big chances — a reminder that dominance does not always translate into clarity. Morton managed five shots off target and two on target, with goalkeeper saves at 3-2 in their favour.
The result leaves Inverness seventh on 10 points from eight games, with two wins, four draws and two losses. Morton remain 10th with just one point, a run of seven defeats that has not shown signs of breaking. The gap between them widens, and for the visitors the season is already slipping away.
