Inverness Caledonian Thistle FC overcame a second-half red card to hold on for a 1-1 draw against Dundee United FC at Pittodrie in a Scottish Premier League game postponed from Saturday.
McIntyre leveller
After a goalless first half, Spanish midfield player Juanjo put the home side ahead from close range, knocking in after goalkeeper Paul Jarvie had done well to save. But Jim McIntyre equalised just after the hour with a fine 25-metre curling shot, his fourth goal of the season.
Tokely off
Moments later Inverness suffered a further setback when defender Ross Tokely - playing his 300th match for the hosts - was ordered off for his second bookable offence in the 66th minute. The result means United leapfrog city rivals Dundee FC on goal difference, but both tonight's opponents remain close to the foot of the table.
