Dundee started slowly and it took them a while to get going, but their first attack they nearly scored, with Paul McGowan shooting over when he had more time than he thought.
But in 10 minutes they took the lead with a fine goal, good play from McDaid who's pass was wide for McMullen and his low cross was swept home at the second attempt by Max Anderson. It was his first league goal for the club.
Dundee looked to add to the score line and Cummings, Mullen and McDaid all came close with good efforts. But right on half-time it was 2-0 when Jason Cummings turned quickly to finish off a half chance after the visitors failed to clear their line.
Second half and Osman Sow replaced Danny Mullen who had taken a head knock. Dundee kept trying to add a third goal, but it was Inverness CT who scored to make it 2-1 when Todorov headed home from 8 yards. Dundee did not panic and were comfy in the last 15 minutes or so . Jack Hamilton done well with a tricky cross near the end.
A fine three points and it sets up the visit to Tynecastle on Saturday, where Dundee must go for the win, to try and seal a play-off spot at the end of the season.
