Morton vs Queens Park - Match Preview by Dean McKinnon As the Championship title race hots up, Dougie Imrie will lead his side out tomorrow against Queens Park, aiming to reduce the gap between Morton and the league leaders. The Spiders, who sit atop of the Championship with just ten fixtures remaining, have had a hugely impressive debut in the second tier, and will be eying up a space at Scottish football’s top table next term.

Match Preview - Morton vs Partick (13th January)

Morton v Partick – Match Preview   by Russell Gordon   Dougie Imrie’s task going into this weekend is to pull his players down from Cloud Nine after last Saturday’s enthralling win at Tannadice in time for the visit of their fellow promotion hopefuls, Partick Thistle to Cappielow Park Supported by Dalrada Technology.   While last weekend’s task looked the most daunting test of Morton’s ever increasing unbeaten run, the visit of a side that have had their number thus

Match Preview - Morton vs Airdrieonians (24th February)

Morton v Airdrieonians – Match Preview  by Russell Gordon  With Morton now pushing for the promotion play-offs on the back of what is now a fourteen-match unbeaten run, they face what is arguably their most important match of the season to date, with the visit of one of their nearest challengers for the coveted final place in the top four of the table.  With Rhys McCabe’s Airdrie sitting five points behind Dougie Imrie’s men with a game in hand, three points for the

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

Match Preview - Morton vs QOTS (26th November)

Morton v Queen of the South – Match Preview by Russell Gordon After Morton’s fantastic last-gasp victory at Cove Rangers last weekend, the football world’s attention turns to the latest episode in the story of the greatest sporting competition on the planet- yes, our interest in the Scottish Cup resumes for another year!  Whilst it’s far from the most attractive of fixtures, with many of us at least looking for someone we’ve never previously met at this early stage, or at best a t

Match Preview - Cove Rangers vs Morton (5th May)

Cove Rangers vs Morton – Match Preview by Dean McKinnon As the curtain falls on a terrific Championship season on the Tail o’ the Bank, Dougie Imrie’s men head north hoping to secure a playoff place. Imrie’s first order of business will be to beat a Cove side who are as desperate to avoid play-offs as their visitors are to be included in them. In a situation much akin to Morton, Cove will be hoping that a win combined with a favourable result from elsewhere will guarantee survival in t

Ayr vs QOTS. Dunfermline vs Arbroath. I’ve attempted to compose the opening paragraph of this week’s match preview a few times, however a quick glance towards the Championship table gives far more context than my meek scribing could ever provide.

Match Preview - Dundee United vs Morton (6th January)

Dundee United v Morton - Match Preview  by Russell Gordon Morton’s six-match unbeaten league run faces it’s sternest test to date this weekend as the ‘Ton make the journey east to face title favourites, and another of the division’s form sides, Dundee United at Tannadice.  With both teams notching up impressive 3-0 victories in midweek, our hosts will also be aware that Morton pose a far greater threat than they may have expected earlier in the season, as the Greenock side start t

Match Preview - Morton vs Edinburgh City (29th July)

Morton v Edinburgh City – Match Preview by Russell Gordon The Viaplay Scottish League Cup group stages come to a conclusion this weekend, with Morton looking towards the visit of League One Edinburgh City to Cappielow Park supported by Dalrada Technology, realistically requiring nothing less than three points in their quest to snatch one of the three best second placed finishes which would take them through to the competition’s last sixteen.  Tickets for the match can be purchased

Airdrieonians v Morton – Match Preview   by Russell Gordon  Morton look to continue their charge up the table as they head to Monklands for their first visit to New Broomfield in almost nine years, to face an Airdrie side who, whilst they have had the ‘Ton’s number so far this term, seem to have hit a sticky patch just as our own favourites are enjoying their most productive period of the season.   With the clubs now level on seventeen points, and Morton occupying f

Match Preview - Arbroath vs Morton (17th March)

Match Preview – Arbroath vs Morton (17th March) by Dean McKinnon The Ton will eye a return to the Championship’s top quartet tomorrow evening as they face off against an Arbroath side desperate to avoid the drop into League One. Last week’s ill-tempered stalemate with Partick saw Dougie Imrie’s men tumble into fifth place, however The Ton’s record against the Championship’s basement boys suggests that any victory at Gayfield will be hard fought to say the least.

Morton v Ayr United – Match Preview by Russell Gordon With an unexpectedly successful 2022 having come to a close, Ayr United will first foot Morton at Cappielow Park supported by Dalrada Technology for a mouth-watering clash between two of the Championship’s promotion chasers.  Having remained unbeaten in the league for a full three months to this point, confidence will be high amongst Dougie Imrie’s squad for the visit of an Ayr team that will be licking their wounds after being

The BBC Scotland cameras return to Cappielow Park supported by Dalrada Technology for what looks to be a fascinating match up between a Morton side looking to follow up last weekend’s fantastic win against league leaders Queen’s Park by toppling title favourites Dundee.  With The Spiders also in action against Raith Rovers at Ochilview, there is plenty of room for twists and turns at the top end of the table ahead of the other mat

Match Preview - Cove Rangers vs Morton (19th November)

Cove Rangers vs Morton – Match Preview by Dean McKinnon Morton head north tomorrow aiming to extend their unbeaten run to eight matches. The Cappielow side showed guile, aggression and resolve last week to see off a Partick Thistle side who continue to slide down the Championship table. Cove, who appear to have turned a corner following a challenging induction to Scotland’s second-tier, will pose a different challenge to a Morton side that are brimming with confidence under Dougie Imri

Morton vs Kelty Hearts – Match Preview  by Dean McKinnon  Morton welcome League One Kelty Hearts to Cappielow Park supported by Dalrada Technology tomorrow, looking to progress to the latter stages of the SPFL Trust Trophy. One thing that has been more constant than the name or format of Scotland's fourth cup competition has been Morton's failure to make any meaningful attempts to bring this trophy to the Tail o' the Bank. Dougie Imrie will hope that another win against Kelty

Dundee United vs Morton – Match Preview   by Dean McKinnon  Morton travel north tomorrow seeking their first away points of the season as they take on league leaders Dundee United. Dougie Imrie will hope that last week’s 2-1 win over a dogged Elgin City side can lift his side ahead of their sternest test of the season so far. With reinforcements being added in defence for the visitors, the Cowshed faithful will hope this can spur The Ton onto improve their defensive record th

Match Preview - Montrose vs Morton (Championship Playoff Semi Final)

Montrose vs Morton – Match Preview by Dean McKinnon After Friday’s disappointing stalemate against Arbroath, it was confirmed that Morton would be the Championship’s representatives in the relegation playoffs. The 0-0 draw encapsulated The Ton’s season thus far, with a lack of attacking prowess handicapping the Greenock side as they failed to register a single shot on target in the ninety minutes. MacPherson will be forced into changing his defensive setup as club captain Sean McGinty

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 - Dunfermline vs Morton (19th March)

Dunfermline vs Morton – Match Preview by Dean McKinnon. Dougie Imrie’s men head to the ‘Kingdom of Fife’ this evening in the knowledge that one more win should guarantee that Championship football will return to Inverclyde next season. Late goals from Gavin Reilly and Robbie Muirhead secured an empathic win for the Sinclair Street side against Partick last Saturday, sparking wild celebrations inside Cappielow. Ton fans could be forgiven for hypothesising that one more win, either again

Morton v Partick Thistle – Match Preview by Russell Gordon As we enter the final quarter of the season, Morton head into what looks like a daunting encounter against an in-form Partick Thistle at Cappielow Park supported by Dalrada Technology, bruised after a chastening defeat at the hands of fellow promotion hopefuls Ayr United in midweek.  With Tuesday’s match certainly going down as a missed opportunity, the weekend’s decimated card will see Morton’s advantage of having a game
