Greenock Morton and Hamilton Academical each took a share of the spoils from a scoreless encounter in the Scottish Championship.

The hosts' Owen Moffat had a host of chances in the first half but lacked composure and team-mate Michael Garrity was clean through on goal only to shoot wide.

John Rankin’s visitors showed much more intent at the start of the second period with a Nikolay Todorov curling strike.

Morton set their sights goal-wards yet again, Ali Crawford with a looping ball over the defence and Garrity firing straight at goalkeeper Charlie Albinson.

And there would be no goals, meaning both sides have yet to score in the league this season.

Manager reaction

Greenock Morton manager Dougie Imrie: "We had enough chances to win five games. I'm really pleased with a lot of aspects. They'll know they've got away with one, especially in the first half. When you don't kill teams off, you're always susceptible to getting done and we nearly did and it would have been a travesty."

Hamilton Academical manager John Rankin: "I didn't think we were anywhere near it. We forgot the fundamentals of football in the first half. Morton, to be fair, created some decent chances but I don't know if that's good play from them or poor play from ourselves and we had to rectify that at half-time. Second half we were really good."
