Greenock Morton frustrated by St Mirren

Greenock Morton and St Mirren have shared a goalless draw in their Scottish Championship match this evening.

Steven Thompson had the ball in the net for the visitors early on, but his effort was ruled out for a foul on the goalkeeper.

The visitors threatened again when Scott Agnew fired in a low drive that was spilled by Derek Gaston, before the keeper gathered the loose ball.

It was Morton who were next to threaten, as Peter MacDonald saw his attempt blocked by Jamie Langfield.

They created another opening when Denny Johnstone broke clear of the defence before firing his strike wide of the post.

Within 10 minutes of the second half, St Mirren were reduced to 10 men, as Luke Conlan was shown a straight red card for a foul on Bobby Barr.

The hosts quickly looked to take advantage and MacDonald saw an effort saved by Langfield, before Michael Miller fired wide.

Morton kept pushing for the breakthrough, but they were unable to find a way past St Mirren's defence, as both teams settled for a draw.
