McArthur off as Hamilton grab draw

Ten-man Hamilton Academical claimed a valuable point as they held Inverness Caledonian Thistle to a 1-1 draw. Both sides are battling hard to keep themselves ahead of bottom side Falkirk, although Caley will be disappointed not to have taken victory in front of their owns fans. All the action came in the second half at the Caledonian Stadium and it was Caley who went ahead when Richie Foran blasted them ahead within minutes of the restart. But Hamilton battled back and were level just after the hour mark when Martin Canning headed home Brian Easton's corner. Not long after Hamilton levelled, they were down to 10 men when midfield starlet James McArthur was handed a straight red for his tackle on Filipe Morais. Terry Butcher's side, though, failed to take advantage of their numerical advantage despite a late charge. The point means Hamilton are six points clear of the bottom, whilst Inverness are four clear.
