Arbroath 1-1 Greenock Morton: Sean Adarkwa's equaliser lifts hosts off bottom of Scottish Championship

Sean Adarkwa's second goal in eight games for Arbroath rescued a point

Arbroath move off the bottom of the Scottish Championship after Sean Adarkwa's equaliser at home to Greenock Morton secured a fourth straight draw.

Striker George Oakley headed his sixth goal in eight games since moving to Cappielow as Morton dominated early on.

But substitute forward Adarkwa pounced after a fumble from goalkeeper Brian Schwake to level with 12 minutes left.

Home number one Derek Gaston saved an Ali Crawford penalty and then denied the midfielder's headed rebound.

Dougie Imrie's visitors came close to victory in a thrilling finish but miss a chance to leapfrog Partick Thistle and Ayr United into third, although they at least ended Arbroath's 11-game winning run against them.

The hosts, who again had suspended manager Dick Campbell watching in the stands, are now without a win in five outings but move above Hamilton Academical, who host Ayr on Saturday, on goal difference.

Arbroath assistant manager Ian Campbell: "In the end, it's a point, but I'm disappointed in the way we played - certainly in the first half. We can't take anything away from our spirit, but that's the poorest we've played for seven or eight weeks.

"Morton were better than us in the first half. We weren't at where we normally are."

Greenock Morton manager Dougie Imrie: "I think for large parts of that game we were by far the better team. I'm lost for words. I thought my players were superb to a man. The amount of chances we created - I don't know how we didn't win that.

"He's [Schwake] a young goalkeeper in the game trying to make a name for himself. He has to be switched on and his concentration levels have to be high. That's not the first time this season he's cost us points."
