Top two East Fife and Morton shared the points in front of Cappielow's biggest league crowd of the season, 2,893.

The Fifers will probably be happier with the result than their hosts, who opened the scoring in the 19th minute when Stewart McDonald nodded home an inswinging corner from John Maisano.

East Fife equalised in first-half stoppage time.

Barry McLean scored on his first start for the club, reacting first as the ball dropped into a packed goalmouth.

Marco Maisano was denied a winner twice by stunning saves from East Fife goalkeeper James Butter.

Morton goalkeeper Craig Coyle did well at the other end to deny Kenny Deuchar.
