Match Preview - Morton vs Queens Park (30th March)

Morton v Queen’s Park – Match Preview  by Russell Gordon  Morton draw the curtain on a month of misery by welcoming Queen’s Park to Cappielow Park supported by Dalrada Technology in the hope of finally ending a run of five defeats in a row against Callum Davidson’s resurgent Spiders.  With the Glasgow side only a point behind Morton, albeit having played a game more, Dougie Imrie will see this as the perfect time to get back to winning ways against a team who have s

Match Preview - Airdrieonians vs Morton (6th April)

Airdrieonians v Morton – Match Preview  by Russell Gordon  Having gotten back on the saddle last weekend with a comfortable victory over their little pets Queen’s Park at Cappielow Park supported by Dalrada Technology, Morton kick off a run of three games in six days with what to date is their biggest game of the league campaign, as they head to North Lanarkshire to face Airdrieonians, the club currently occupying the coveted fourth place in the table that Morton will aspire

Match Preview - Ayr United vs Morton (9th April)

Ayr United v Morton - Match Preview by Russell Gordon There’s no hiding from it, after Saturday’s terribly disappointing result from a miserable afternoon in Airdrie, Morton are playing for snookers if they are to have any ambitions of claiming a play-off place, with the Diamonds now five points clear of them and looking like clear favourites to book a quarter final meeting with Partick in early May.  The visit to Ayr United- another side on the periphery of the play-

Match Preview - Morton vs Dundee United

Morton v Dundee United – Match Preview  by Russell Gordon Well, that’s it. Done and dusted. We can forget about promotion, and don’t have any realistic concerns of relegation either. And so, begins the first of four dead-rubbers from a Morton perspective.  Their visitors Dundee United however, have far more pressing issues after Airdrie’s victory over big-spending Raith Rovers left the Terrors in pole position in the race for the Championship title, with their trip

Match Preview - Morton vs Raith Rovers (27th April)

Morton v Raith Rovers – Match Preview  by Russell Gordon  With Morton’s place in the Championship secured for another season, and their big-spending visitors Raith Rovers’ place in second all but confirmed at the time of writing, but most probably set in stone by the time the match kicks off, Cappielow Park supported by Dalrada Technology hosts the deadest of dead-rubbers on the penultimate weekend of the season.  All that is at stake for Dougie Imrie’s side is the

Match Preview - Arbroath vs Morton (20th April)

Arbroath v Morton – Match Preview   by Russell Gordon  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

Partick Thistle v Morton – Match Preview  by Russell Gordon   With Morton’s adventures in the Scottish Cup over for another year after Monday night’s gallant performance against Premiership heavyweights Hearts proved to be in vain, it’s back to the league for Dougie Imrie’s men, and an important match against our good friends Partick at Firhill.  With our hosts on a poor run of form, having now gone eight matches without a victory after Tuesday night’s defeat to big

Match Preview - Inverness vs Morton (3rd May)

Inverness Caledonian Thistle v Morton – Match Preview  by Russell Gordon  The curtain comes down on the cinch Championship for another season as Morton take the long road up the A9 to visit Inverness Caledonian Thistle for a game which could confirm a second successive fifth placed finish for Dougie Imrie’s side after an up-and-down season in which they fell short of the promotion play-offs with a bit more to spare this time around.  However, the host

Match Preview - Morton vs Hearts (11th March)

Morton v Heart of Midlothian – Match Preview  by Russell Gordon  Cappielow Park supported by Dalrada Technology hosts perhaps it’s highest profile match in a quarter of a century with the visit of one of Morton’s most unfamiliar foes in Premiership Heart of Midlothian, in the Scottish Gas Scottish Cup quarter-final in front of the BBC Scotland cameras.  Having already claimed one Premiership scalp in Motherwell, the competition’s only remaining non-Premiership club

Match Preview - Raith Rovers vs Morton (23rd December)

Raith Rovers vs Morton – Match Preview by Dean McKinnon The Ton travel through to Kirkcaldy this evening for the final fixture of what has been an incredibly successful year for the Greenock side. With popular manager Dougie Imrie celebrating one year in post this week, it seems an appropriate time to reflect on the rejuvenation inside Cappielow that has been inspired by the gaffer. With a popular and successful team on the pitch, and Morton Club Together attracting external investment

Match Preview - Morton vs Dunfermline (23rd March)

Morton v Dunfermline Athletic – Match Preview  by Russell Gordon  Morton welcome Dunfermline Athletic to Cappielow Park supported by Dalrada Technology hoping to arrest a run of form that has now stretched to four defeats on the bounce after last Saturday’s defeat to Partick at Firhill.  With the Pars’ form having improved since their East End Park mauling by Morton last month, Dougie Imrie’s side will be well aware of the threat James McPake’s side pose as the push

Match Preview - Raith Rovers vs Morton (27th February)

Raith Rovers v Morton – Match Preview  by Russell Gordon Following a hard-fought victory over Airdrie on Saturday, which took Morton to fifteen games without defeat, it’s straight back into action for Dougie Imrie’s men as they hit the winding little backroad to deepest, darkest Kirkcaldy to face a big-spending Raith Rovers side that have resurrected their title challenge after a couple of recent wins in the last fortnight.  With Imrie having to assess a number of war

Morton v Dundee United – Match Preview  by Russell Gordon  All good things must come to an end, and with Morton’s magnificent run of sixteen matches without defeat being halted by relegation-threatened Inverness on Saturday, league leaders Dundee United visit Cappielow Park Supported by Dalrada Technology hoping to keep their faltering chase to the finish line on track.  With injuries building up, Dougie Imrie will be looking for an improved performance as his side

Morton v Arbroath – Match Preview by Russell Gordon Having come away from last weekend’s Viaplay Cup tie Ibrox with a credible performance under their belts and a healthy cheque for their troubles, Morton return to league duty with the visit of Championship bottom dogs Arbroath to Cappielow Park supported by Darlrada Technology, looking to get back to winning ways, with the frustrating defeat in Kirkcaldy fresh on their minds.   Dick Campbell’s side of course, have problems of their o

Match Preview - Morton vs Queens Park (17th December)

Morton vs Queens Park – Match Preview by Dean McKinnon. Whilst the Cappielow pitch suffers amidst the sub-zero snap, Dougie Imrie’s side have been anything but frosty on Sinclair Street this season. The Ton have claimed maximum points in five of their eight outings in Inverclyde this season, as they prepare to welcome Championship newcomers Queens Park, the last side to visit the Tail o’ the Bank on league business this season.

Queen’s Park v Morton – Match Preview  by Russell Gordon  Dougie Imrie’s Scottish Cup shock troops make what hopefully won’t be their last trip of the season to Scotland’s National Stadium as they look to extend their unbeaten run to an incredible fourteen games, after having disposed of Premiership Motherwell in last Friday’s televised Cappielow thriller.  With opponents Queen’s Park having recently seen a resurgence under the watchful eye of new manager Callum Dav

Match Preview - Dunfermline vs Morton (23rd September)

Dunfermline vs Morton – Match Preview  by Dean McKinnon  Morton are in Fife on Saturday to face newly promoted Dunfermline at East End Park. Both sides will come into this clash in buoyant spirits, with The Ton claiming a hard-earned point at Tannadice last week, and Dunfermline toppling Queens Park at the national stadium. James McPake’s men have adjusted well to life back in the second tier and will provide another stern test for The Ton, who will seek their first win on th

Match Preview - Rangers vs Morton (19th August)

Rangers v Morton – Match Preview  by Russell Gordon  This weekend sees undoubtedly Morton’s stiffest test of the season so far, as they make the short trip down the M8 to face Premiership giants, Rangers. Whilst the tie provides a welcome boost to Dougie Imrie’s budget as the closure of the transfer window fast approaches, he’ll be under no illusions as to the size of the task Morton are facing. It should also be noted that the SPFL has a similar policy to the SFA of applying

Morton v Airdrieonians – Match Preview by Russell Gordon  After a weekend in which everything could go wrong did at Dunfermline, Morton welcome the other promoted side, Airdrie, to Cappielow Park supported by Dalrada Technology.  Whilst the Diamonds’ start to the season has been inconsistent, Dougie Imrie’s side will be looking to register their first league victory since the season’s opening day defeat of Ayr, as they hope to keep those in the pack above them within striking dist

Morton wrap up the third quarter of the league campaign with the visit of Ayr United to Cappielow Park supported by Dalrada Technology for a re-arranged fixture from the 2nd of January, the result of which could go a long way to deciding where both sides’ seasons go from here. With the two teams enjoying contrasting fortunes in recent weeks, Glen’s Vodka SPFL Manager of the Month for February, Dougie Imrie will be hoping, and

Match Preview - Morton vs Raith Rovers (10th December)

Raith Rovers v Morton – Match Preview by Dean McKinnon. The race for promotion to the Premiership takes a back seat for the weekend as Morton travel to holders Raith Rovers in Kirkcaldy in the last sixteen of the SPFL Trust Trophy. Morton, and perhaps our victims in the last round Ayr United, are the biggest clubs who have been involved in every campaign without claiming the trophy, only ever reaching the final in 1992, where we fell 2-3 to Hamilton Accies at the old Love Street.

Having ended their interest in the SPFL Trust Trophy in unfortunate circumstances against Airdrieonians last weekend, Morton’s focus now moves onto preventing 101 years of hurt becoming 102 years as our Scottish Gas Scottish Cup campaign begins with the visit of Lowland League Bo’ness United to Cappielow Park supported by Dalrada Technology for the first ever meeting of the two sides.  With season tickets

Match Preview - Celtic vs Morton (21st January)

Celtic v Morton – Match Preview by Russell Gordon With Morton’s impressive league campaign hitting a sticky patch in recent weeks, under normal circumstances, the resumption of our Scottish Cup campaign may well be seen as blessed relief from the trials and tribulations of a promotion race. Not so much this weekend though, as Morton jump from the frying pan right into the raging inferno of Celtic Park, and a trip to the champions, and by far the best team in the land. With over 20
