Welsh's winner was cruel on Dunfermline

Dunfermline Athletic remain bottom of the Scottish Championship after a late Sean Welsh penalty hoisted Inverness Caledonian Thistle up to third.

Substitute Danny Devine was penalised for handball three minutes from the end of a tight affair of few chances.

And Welsh's spot-kick into the bottom corner moved the visitors two points behind Dundee United and Ayr United.

Dunfermline's third straight league defeat leaves them behind Partick Thistle on goal difference.

Dunfermline manager Stevie Crawford: "It was a game we certainly didn't deserve to lose. In terms of effort and commitment I can't fault them today and it's bitterly disappointing that we've lost to a penalty kick late on."

Inverness Caley Thistle manager John Robertson: "From 20 minutes in you could have had your money on a 0-0 draw. We turned a draw into a win and it sums up Dunfermline's luck at the moment because they didn't deserve to lose."
