Tom Walsh had a goal and an assist for Inverness Caledonian Thistle

Inverness Caledonian Thistle remain just two points off the Scottish Championship summit following victory over Queen of the South.

Sean Welsh opened the scoring for the Highlanders, and four minutes later Tom Walsh netted the second.

Jamie McCart came close to increasing the scoreline but his header from a Tom Walsh corner came off a post.

The hosts had all the pressure in the second half but could not add to their tally.

Inverness CT manager John Robertson: "We started really well and we forced the game onto them. We had two tremendous finishes and if it wasn't for Robby McCrorie it could have been five or six.

"We could have been a bit more clinical and got a few more goals. If we get a bit more clinical we are a match for anybody."

Queen of the South manager Allan Johnston: "There wasn't much between the teams in the first half. We played well - they were just a lot more clinical than us.

"Overall we are bit frustrated but Inverness have a lot of good players and they are playing with a lot of confidence at the moment."
