Prior to the stoppage of footballing activity, Inverness were going well in second place in Scotland’s second tier.
John Robertson’s team sit some way behind leaders Dundee United, but have a healthy eight-point lead over fifth-placed side Dunfermline Athletic and are on course to finish in the play-off places when the season resumes, whenever that may be.
