Nortei Nortey's second-half goal was enough to earn Queens the points

Queen of the South have moved up to fifth in the Scottish Championship after an impressive win at Inverness Caledonian Thistle.

Nortei Nortey's goal on the break just after the hour was enough to earn the points for Allan Johnston's side.

Queens are now six points clear of the foot of the table, albeit have played more games than four sides below them.

Inverness CT are one of those, and remain in the relegation play-off spot having played only 12 matches.
