Dundee's winless run in the Scottish Championship extended to four games after they twice came from behind to earn a point at Greenock Morton.

Craig McGuffie's superb volley opened the scoring shortly before half-time.

Jason Cummings levelled with his second goal in two games, firing home a Danny Mullen flick-on, but Luca Colville soon restored the hosts' lead with a header from McGuffie's cross.

Mullen rescued a point for Dundee with an 81st-minute header.

It leaves James McPake's men fifth, three points adrift of the play-off spots and with games in hand on all the sides above them.

Morton, now nine games without victory, move two points clear of second-bottom Ayr United and six above Alloa Athletic.
