Billy McKay (centre) scored the opener for Dundee United
Dundee United and Inverness Caledonian Thistle ended up with a point apiece in a hard fought game at Tannadice.
Billy McKay gave the home side the lead early on but a Josh Meekings header salvaged a point for John Hughes side.
United thought they had won the game late on but Simon Murray saw his effort ruled out for offside.
The boos rang out at the end though Jackie McNamara's men were perhaps unfortunate not to take all three points.
Their struggles continue though, with their winless run now stretching to six games.
The opening goal of the game arrived early for the hosts. Darko Bodul set up Ryan McGowan down the left hand side, and his cross into the box was met by John Rankin.
His effort was blocked on the line but McKay was on hand to knock the ball into the net from close range.
This McKay's second goal since joining United on loan three weeks ago
It was no more than United deserved after a very strong start to the game.

The lead should have been doubled four minutes later. Bodul was involved again along with Callum Morris who played in Rankin just eight yards out, but his shot was blocked by Owain Fon-Williams in the Inverness goal.
The visitors keeper was again called into action; beating away a McKay drive from the edge of the 18 yard box.
John Hughes half time team talk obviously worked as they took control after the restart.
Within the opening minute Ryan Christie was bundled to the ground just outside the box as he threatened the home goal, but no free-kick said referee Kevin Clancy.
But the Caley pressure paid off when a corner from the right hand side was met by Meekings who was unmarked at the back post and he thundered a header into the roof of the net.
United thought they had grabbed all three points with just four minutes left when substitute Simon Murray knocked the ball into the net from six yards out but the flag had already been raised for offside.
