March 11th - 

 

2017 - Morton 1-0 Queen of the South (Forbes)

Evening kick-off for BBC Alba.

 

http://youtu.be/v0THpYiHUrk

 

2016 - Rangers 3-1 Morton (Johnstone)

Moved to the Friday night since Celtic were at Firhill on the Saturday. Our next game was Celtic away in the cup.

 

http://youtu.be/IMBmu4L13cQ

 

2008 - Clyde 1-1 Morton (og)

Slight improvement on our previous meeting.

 

2006 - Gretna 1-2 Morton (Millar 2)

This would be our last league meeting and a result which pretty much meant we would finish in the play-offs.

 

2003 - Morton 2-2 Stirling Albion (Annand 2)

Eddie Annand's first goals for Morton.

 

1995 - Queen of the South 1-0 Morton

Queen's scored in the first minute and nothing much happened after that. We looked like a team who'd just met. 

 

1989 - St. Johnstone 0-1 Morton (Deeney)

Next up - St. Johnstone in the Quarter Finals of the cup.

 

D1ZsxsGXgAASp4J.jpg

 

1987 - Morton 2-1 Kilmarnock (Doak, Alexander)

John McMaster's debut.

 

D1Zs6ivWoAAaGee.jpg

 

1981 - Morton 0-0 Clydebank 

Scottish Cup Quarter Final. Fans not happy with the display and Benny Rooney was very critical of this in his programme notes in the following game.

 

D1ZtFZrWsAAc4s_.jpg

 

1978 - Aberdeen 2-2 Morton (Ritchie, Goldthorp)

Scottish Cup Quarter Final.

We were 2-0 down with a couple of minutes to go and then suddenly it was scenes everywhere. Another one that I wish I'd been at.

 

1972 - Morton 2-2 Dundee (Anderson, Osborne)

 

1967 - Morton 4-0 Berwick Rangers (Harper 3, Bolton)

 

1961 - Forfar 5-0 Morton

McGhee needs some support, there's no-one backing him up.
Hayes playing it forward, Bell being forced to do it all alone, now forward from Marr, here's Ritchie, still Andy Ritchie, look at the control...

That is a marvellous goal from Andy Ritchie. Twenty minutes on the clock and Morton's supporters come alive. A goal which epitomises the control, the arrogance, the cheek of Andy Ritchie.

2009 - Morton 2-0 Clyde (Jenkins, Masterton pen)

 

2000 - Morton 1-0 Livingston (Curran)

Livingston manager Ray Stewart was sacked after this game.

 

1998 - Dundee 2-0 Morton 

 

1995 - Morton 4-1 Clyde (Lilley 2, McInnes, Rajamaki)

4-0 up at half time only for a blizzard to come on and cover the lines. Clyde fans wanted the game abandoned but it eased. Second half was a non event.

 

Lilley scores the first.

1981 - Morton 0-1 Airdrieonians

Three days after players were jeered off for a 0-0 draw with Clydebank, Benny Rooney used his programme notes to criticise the support for getting on the team's back. And they promptly served up this debacle.

1979 - Morton 6-0 Motherwell (Ritchie, Thomson 2, Tolmie 2, Russell)

A great midweek performance under the lights - and my dad chose to go to this on his own. :(

Ian Clinging - Motherwell sub!

And Willie Pettigrew, who played for us in the mid 80s.

That scoreline was the biggest win in the Premier Division at the time.

Until a week or so later, Aberdeen beat them 8-0.

His debut was against Aberdeen, October '78.

Looks like he came on as a sub in that game.

 

Edit - Two other sub appearances prior to his first full start in the Motherwell game -  a 3-0 defeat at Ibrox and the 1-1 cup draw at Tynecastle.

Was it his first start then AT ?

His first proper start was the 6-0 Motherwell game. The previous 3 appearances were as a used sub.
