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

Match Preview - Morton vs Partick Thistle (12th November)

Morton v Partick Thistle - Match Preview by Russell Gordon Partick Thistle call in at Cappielow Park Supported by Dalrada Technology UK this weekend looking to arrest a quite remarkable decline in their fortunes since what was, for Morton at least, quite a chastening afternoon at Firhill just six short weeks ago.  With the clubs effectively having swapped places in the table since then, with the hosts occupying second place in the table and Ian McCall’s side now in seventh place,

Match Preview - Ayr United vs Morton (5th November)

Ayr United vs Morton – Match Preview by Dean McKinnon. Dougie Imrie’s Morton side travel to Somerset Park on Saturday looking to make club history, as The Ton aim to play five matches without conceding a goal. The history books show that in 2016, the team went four matches with consecutive clean sheets, although these were matches against lower-league opposition in the League Cup group stages. You have to go all the way back to 2006/07 for the last time Morton kept five consecutive cle

Match Preview - Morton vs Inverness (28th October)

Morton v Inverness Caledonian Thistle – Match Preview by Russell Gordon. After the worst possible start to October saw Morton drubbed 5-1 at Firhill, Morton bring what has turned into a very productive month to a close with the visit of Billy Dodds’ depleted Inverness Caledonian Thistle to Cappielow Park supported by Dalrada Technology UK in front of the BBC Scotland cameras. With Ayr United’s not-at-all funny defeat of Partick Thistle on Tuesday night propelling the Honest Men to

Match Preview - Morton vs Raith Rovers (15th October)

Morton v Raith Rovers Preview by Russell Gordon Having exorcised a few ghosts in ending Hamilton’s long unbeaten run in Greenock on Saturday past, Raith Rovers are the visitors to Cappielow Park supported by Dalrada Technology Ltd, as Morton look to build upon two fine victories over the last week or so. One would expect however that Ian Murray’s men, who also enjoyed a resounding victory last weekend, 3-0 at home to Cove Rangers, will provide a sterner test for Dougie Imrie’s men

Morton vs Queen’s Park- Match Preview By Russell Gordon Morton face a midweek trip to Larbert this evening looking to right some wrongs after Saturday’s horrendous afternoon in Maryhill, but are running into a side that are hitting their best run of form so far this season and sitting neatly in second place in the table following last season’s promotion through the play-offs.   With trips to the Falkirk area a very rare thing in recent years, three points would be very welcom

Match Preview - Inverness vs Morton (27th August)

Inverness vs Morton – Match Preview by Dean McKinnon Morton will travel north on Saturday feeling optimistic following Saturday’s encouraging performance against Dundee.

Match Preview - Hamilton vs Morton (30th July)

Hamilton vs Morton – Match Preview by Dean McKinnon The Championship season kicks off tomorrow with Dougie Imrie’s Morton side travelling to Imrie’s old stomping ground.

Hibs vs Morton – Match Preview by Dean McKinnon With Morton’s early elimination from this season’s League Cup all but confirmed, Dougie Imrie’s side head through to the capital to face off against Hibs.

Match Preview - Clyde vs Morton (16th July)

Clyde vs Morton – Match Preview by Dean McKinnon There will be a touch of the familiar for Dougie Imrie as he leads his Morton side on Saturday. Imrie will face Clyde, whom he represented for two years as a player, in the stadium in which he played more than any other. Saturday’s showdown against an already eliminated Clyde should be an opportunity for The Ton to limber up for their trip to Easter Road next midweek, which has become a must-win encounter thanks in no small part to Leagu

Dougie Imrie’s nineteenth game in charge will mark the end of a season in which the former Morton player’s impact cannot be understated.

Morton v Inverness Caledonian Thistle - Match Preview by Russell Gordon. The penultimate round of the Championship’s regular season, and Morton’s final home game sees Billy Dodds’ Inverness coming down the A9 to slum it at Cappielow for a third time this season.

Morton v Hamilton- Match Preview by Russell Gordon. An afternoon of celebration awaits at Cappielow as Morton mark the 100th anniversary of our Scottish Cup win with the visit of Hamilton Accies. But there is also a job to be done, with the hosts requiring only a point to secure their Championship status for another year, whilst Accies require a win to do likewise. After Morton’s exorcising of the Stark’s Park ghost last weekend, both sides will also be eyeing Raith Rovers’ trip to Fir
