Hamilton Accies 1-1 Dundee: Visitors miss chance to go clear in second

Jordan McGhee's header drew Dundee level, but they could not find a winner

Dundee missed the chance to go clear in second in the Scottish Championship after coming from behind to draw with struggling Hamilton Academical.

Connor Smith, on loan from Hearts, fired Accies into an early lead with a thunderous strike from long-range.

Jordan McGhee nodded Gary Bowyer's side level from close-range before the break, but failed to beat Ryan Fulton again despite ramping up the pressure.

John Rankin's team narrow the gap on Arbroath in ninth to three points.

Dundee move level with Ayr United, but remain third on goal difference, four points behind leaders Queen's Park with a game in hand.
