Simmons rescues Morton

Posted Tuesday, March 23, 2010 by PA

Donovan Simmons' strike five minutes from time ensured Morton claimed a 1-1 draw against Raith.

Rovers started brightly and Allan Walker's strike was well-saved by Kevin Cuthbert, while the Morton keeper was also on hand to deny Gregory Tade's header.

At the other end, the hosts had efforts through Ryan McGuffie and Simmons, both of which were easily saved by David McGurn.

Chances were few and far between in the second half before the visitors took a 71st-minute lead when Mark Ferry teed up Grant Murray to volley home.

Dominic Shimmin had an opportunity to level after 80 minutes but his header from six yards was saved by McGurn.

Morton were not to be denied and Simmons ensured the spoils would be shared with a close-range finish five minutes later.
