Aberdeen saw their lead at the top of the Scottish Premiership re-duced to just two points, but were in the end thankful for Ryan Jack’s late leveller to avoid defeat against a spirited Dundee, yesterday.

The Dons had looked comfortable after David Goodwillie’s early strike put them in front, but goals from Gary Irvine and Greg Stewart had Dundee in front by half-time.

Gary Harkins added a third soon after the interval to put daylight between the sides.

Aberdeen were handed a late lifeline through a Jonny Hayes penalty, and Jack sealed a share of the points when he bundled home deep into injury time to rescue a 3-3 draw.

Earlier, second-placed Celtic beat Hamilton 2-0 away courtesy of goals from Adam Matthews and Liam Henderson.
