Dundee 1-1 Greenock Morton: Two late goals in Dens Park draw

Lee Ashcroft equalises for Dundee

Lee Ashcroft hit a late equaliser as Dundee secured a Scottish Championship draw at home to relegation-threatened Morton.

The draw, coupled with second-placed Raith Rovers also being held, means Hearts have clinched the league title.

Morton took the lead with just 12 minutes remaining as Aidan Nesbitt tapped home from close range.

But Ashcroft levelled two minutes from time as James McPake's side stay in third place.

Dundee manager James McPake: "We were in control without being very fluent. We weren't at our best. A lot of credit has to go to Morton; they were very stubborn and made it hard for us. The quality just wasn't there in the final third.

"We had a lot of the ball and a lot of chances but unfortunately we couldn't make the most of those. The aim now is to finish second."

Morton manager Gus McPherson: "It was hard fought. We had to work extremely hard. If someone had said before the game you would take a point from Dens we would have taken that but it's ever so frustrating when you lose it at that stage in the game when we've defended very, very well as a team.

"We just have to take it and move on. The objective is to stay in the league."
