Jim McAlister's goal earned Morton a point in Greenock

Dundee are still searching for their first win of 2020 - and have slipped out of the play-off places - after they were held by 10-man Morton in Greenock.

James McPake's side took the lead after 12 minutes with a well-worked goal.

Debutant defender Christophe Berra's delivery was met and converted by Kane Hemmings from 10 yards out.

Morton, though, levelled before the half hour mark, Jim McAlister knocking in the rebound after Conor Hazard could only a parry Nicky Cadden's free kick.

The hosts were reduced to 10 men early in the second half when Kyle Jacobs received a second yellow card, but the closest Dundee came to a winner was when a Declan McDaid effort came back off a post.

Morton manager David Hopkin: "The players gave me everything and I think the fans are starting to see a team who will give them everything from now on."

Dundee manager James McPake: "Disappointment again, and for once we gave ourselves a chance in a game. Not to capitalise when they go down to 10 men is disappointing because we have players out there who can create a lot more."
