Inverness game falls foul of weather

Celtic’s 1-0 victory over Motherwell saw them go nine points clear in the Clydesdale Bank Premier League title race after second-placed Inverness’s match at Ross County fell victim to a waterlogged pitch.

A Niall McGinn free-kick shortly after half-time spared the blushes of Jamie Langfield as Aberdeen and Dundee United battled out a 2-2 draw at Pittodrie.

The home side had taken an early lead through Scott Vernon, but Gavin Gunning turned home a leveller and Dons goalkeeper Langfield put through his own net to give the Arabs an unexpected half-time lead.
