Billy McKay’s equaliser saw Inverness open their cinch Championship campaign with a 1-1 draw against Queen’s Park.

Steven Boyd carried an early threat for Inverness but Jake Davidson’s solo effort put the visitors ahead in the 12th minute.

Goalkeeper Mark Ridgers got a touch to that effort but was unable to keep it out, though he partially redeemed himself with a one-on-one save from Josh McPake – and Caley Thistle equalised before half-time when McKay finished from the edge of the box.

McKay forced a good save from Calum Ferrie 10 minutes after half-time and though Ridgers again denied McPake, Ferrie was the busier keeper and saved from McKay, Aaron Doran and Nathan Shaw in the closing stages to preserve a point for Queen’s Park.
