The Disaster Seasons, Part 1- Celtic Park Celebrations and Douglas Park Despair
By Russell Gordon
With Morton’s season reaching its climax this evening with a trip to play opponents who have far more at stake than our own favourites, it’s perhaps appropriate that the trip to an Inverness side who are desperate for points, but thankfully not requiring to make up a goal difference deficit, falls on the tenth anniversary of Morton’s darkest day, on the park at least.

With only a small concern over the possibility of Morton ending up in the relegation play-offs, and the play-offs at the right end of the table now arithmetically out of reach after a dismal seven weeks or so since Morton’s sixteen match unbeaten run came to an end, the irresistible force meets the immoveable object as our favourites make what could be their last trip to Gayfield for a while to visit already relegated Arb

Hal’s Heroes- Morton’s Greatest Ever Season
By Russell Gordon
