Mark Ridgers was the hero as his shootout save settled a nerve-shredding play-off semi final and sent Inverness to within 180 minutes of a Premiership return.
On a night when Billy Dodds’ side had to dig deep into their reserves after being reduced to nine men by a ridiculously card-happy Willie Collum, Ridgers dived to his right to deny Arbroath stalwart Bobby Linn.
It teed up veteran Kirk Broadfoot to slam home the final penalty and set up a home and away showdown with St Johnstone as they look to end their five-year top flight exile.
