First Team Debuts
Milestones
Steep learning curve for Academicals:
Accies were taught a sharp lesson on their return to the top class as Inverness showed them why they have been lingering around the top-six for the last couple of seasons with a clinical display. First half goals from Billy McKay and Ryan Christie were enough to send the points North and the newly promoted club will need to up their game if they are to make an impact this season.
The continuity on the park gave Inverness the edge and it showed as Accies nervously conceded possession at the back allowing McKay to open the scoring. Christie doubled the advantage, tapping in after a Williams shot was touched on by McGovern and that endeth the scoring. The visitors held out comfortably for the three points and could have added to their tally as Watkins clattered the crossbar in the second half.
Ross Draper made the starting X1 but there was no place for Aaron Doran who started from the bench in an otherwise familiar Inverness first choice.
Full Time 0-2
