Alloa couldn't hang on to Iain Flannigan's penalty opener

Inverness Caledonian Thistle dropped points for the third time in four Scottish Championship matches as they were held at home by Alloa Athletic.

Second-place Inverness CT, left to rue a string of missed chances, are now 17 points behind Dundee United and a point clear of Ayr United.

Alloa took their unbeaten run to five games and led through Iain Flannigan's penalty Kevin Crawley was fouled.

Jordan White finally breached the visitors with a second-half equaliser.

And the striker could have won it right on full-time, only to head over the crossbar.

Alloa remain in the relegation play-off spot, two points above Partick Thistle and below Queen of the South on goal difference.

Inverness CT assistant manager Barry Wilson: "I'm frustrated. We were chasing the game after the penalty, which we felt was of the soft variety. Results elsewhere went for us but we've not taken our chance to go further ahead."

Alloa Athletic manager Peter Grant: "I've been delighted with our performances. We showed another side today the way they had to dig in at a tough place to come."
