Steven Anderson celebrates scoring for Partick Thistle

Partick Thistle earned a first Championship away win of the season at Inverness Caledonian Thistle.

New loan signing Steven Anderson tapped in the opener, and just minutes later Aidan Fitzpatrick robbed Brad McKay and scored from 12 yards.

January arrival Darren McCauley scored his first goal for Inverness, who lost ground in the title race.

But the Highlanders struggled to create anything more as ninth-placed Partick edged to within a point of safety.

Inverness Caledonian Thistle manager John Robertson: "I thought victory would still make us outside title challengers, and anything else would mean we are fighting for a play-off spot.

"We've got a problem at home. We've won two, lost three and drawn the rest. Away from him, we've got a small band of fans that get right behind the team but at home they don't seem to do that."

Partick Thistle manager Gary Caldwell: "We spoke about the characteristics you need to win away from home - resilience, desire, togetherness - and I think we showed that second half.

"But in the first half, we showed quality. It could have been more than 2-0 and tactically I thought the boys were outstanding."
