Caley Thistle still unbeaten in pre-season road trip

CALEY Thistle's unbeaten pre-season record remains intact, but only just following Saturday's 1-1 draw at Livingston.

Inverness manager Terry Butcher conceded there was plenty of work still to be done before the new Scottish Premier League starts on Saturday 23rd July.

After scoring 12 goals without replay in their three previous frindlies against Clach, Forres Mechanics and Elgin City, Caley Thistle looked in a strong position to make it four in-a-row after Richie Foran converted a cross from the returning Jonny Hayes to put the Highland Capital side in front at Almondvale.

Only the heroics of Jonny Tuffey, however, kept Livingston from scoring until a spectacular effort from Kyle Jacobs levelled matters in the second half.

Butcher now takes his squad to England on Monday to begin a hectic schedule of games that will see Inverness play Yeovil Town, Bristol Rovers and Aldershot Town over a five-day period.
