Inverness scored three times in the opening half-hour as they beat Falkirk 4-1.
George Oakley, Connor Bell and Jake Mulraney struck early to move the hosts within three points of the play-off places.
Oakley put Inverness ahead after 10 minutes, slotting in the rebound after Mulraney was denied by Falkirk goalkeeper Robbie Thomson.
Mulraney was involved again as his 28th-minute cutback was converted by Bell before he was able to celebrate his first goal for the club two minutes later.
Louis Longridge's fourth goal in as many games pulled one back for the visitors with four minutes left but substitute John Baird headed home to round off a thumping home win.
