Inverness Caley Thistle defeat Cove Rangers 3-0 thanks to hat-trick from academy graduate Keith Bray

Inverness Caledonian Thistle picked up a 3-0 win away at Cove Rangers to move three points clear of the relegation play-off in League One.

A Keith Bray hat-trick sealed the victory for Caley Thistle through in Aberdeen, with two first-half goals supplemented by a third around 20 minutes from time.

Coupled with Annan Athletic’s 2-0 defeat at home against Queen of the South, the Caley Jags have now put daylight between themselves and the potential drop zone once again with four matches left to play.

Inverness are also one point behind next opponent Kelty Hearts ahead of next Saturday’s clash at the Caledonian Stadium.
