Celtic beaten by Inverness

Corkman Eoghan O’Connell the unfortunate scorer of a costly own goal in the Highland capital

An own goal edged a spirited Inverness past Celtic 1-0 in the Highland capital.

The deciding moment the match came in the 65th minute when Marley Watkins got away down the right side and fired in a cross which goalkeeper Lukasz Zaluska could only parry.

The ball rebounded straight off young Irish defender Eoghan O’Connell, who was helpless as Inverness netted, claiming their first home victory over the Glasgow giants since May 2011.

Dundee United returned to winning ways thanks to substitute Chris Erskine's late winner pin the 2-1 victory over Ross County, who are still looking for their first point of the campaign.
