Queen's Park 2-1 Inverness CT: League leaders fight back to extend advantage at top

Grant Savoury's header drew Queen's Park level at Ochilview
Queen's Park fought back to beat Inverness Caledonian Thistle and extend their Scottish Championship lead to seven points.
Daniel Mackay's measured, controlled finish from 20 yards had given the Highlanders a half-time advantage.
But the hosts equalised when Grant Savoury headed in his 13th goal of the season from Connor Shields' delivery.
Then towering Nigerian defender Stephen Eze got his head on Dom Thomas' corner to seal a vital three points.
It is five games unbeaten now for Owen Coyle's men, who seem to be coming up with answers to all the questions asked of them in the second-tier title race.
Queen's Park manager Owen Coyle: "We didn't perform to the level we're capable of first half, but second half we certainly stepped it up.
"It's a young group and a lot of them haven't been round about where we are, so there was an edginess to them but at half-time I asked them to relax and get back to what we're known for."
Inverness CT manager Billy Dodds: "We didn't set an out the second half the way we should. If we had just kept it simple and neat and tidy, I think we would've got them.
"We were denied a penalty when Billy Mckay felt he got a shove in the back. But we handed Queen's Park the game."
