Greenock Morton 1 : 3 Dundee - Mcintosh brace sinks Morton

Dundee held off a spirited fightback from Morton to secure a 3-1 victory at Cappielow Park.

Leighton Mcintosh's brace was the catalyst behind the win as his aerial prowess proved too much to handle.

The striker nodded his team in front with just six minutes played as he met Matthew Lockwood's cross to find the bottom corner.

The visitors then doubled their advantage in style three minutes before the break when Gary Harkins' clever lob left keeper Colin Stewart stranded.

Morton improved dramatically after the interval and finally found a breakthrough as Colin Stewart's incisive pass allowed David O'Brien to dispatch a neat finish.

But their hopes of snatching a point were short-lived as Mcintosh rose highest once again 15 minutes from time to seal the three points.
