Inverness Caledonian Thistle are halfway to a vital win at Celtic as they lead 2-1 at Celtic Park in the Scottish Premiership.

Neil Lennon's side made the brighter start in the opening 10 minutes, but Thistle took the lead after 14 minutes when midfielder Aaron Doran spotted Fraser Forster off his line as he slotted inside the post.

The hosts tried to respond quickly, with Charlie Mulgrew firing over with a free kick from distance.

Celtic's luck worsened as Richie Foran doubled Caley's lead from close range and the Hoops' injury crisis worsened with Berem Kayal forced off midway through the first period.

As the game threatened to get away from Celtic, Mulgrew managed to pull a goal back and give his side hope of getting a result.

Should Thistle hold on to their lead, it would mean that Terry Butcher's charges would maintain their 100% start to their league season.
