Match Preview - Morton vs Arbroath (Championship 30th Jan)

Morton vs Arbroath - Match Preview by Dean McKinnon Morton head into Saturday’s match against Arbroath looking to continue the momentum generated by a positive second half performance against Inverness on Wednesday evening. The Ton trailed 2-1 at half time, also having Rabin Omar dismissed for two bookable offences inside the first half hour of the match. Anton McElhone’s side rallied in the second half, exemplified by intelligent striker play from Gary Oliver. He received the ball wit

Match Preview - Morton vs Arbroath (2nd October)

Morton vs Arbroath - Match Preview by Russell Gordon. With Morton's four game losing streak in the league reaching an end last weekend with an insipid 0-0 draw at Ayr United, Gus MacPherson's attention now shifts towards the league's surprise package- the high-flying part-timers of Arbroath. With home form that has yielded a solitary point from nine, against bottom-dogs Dunfermline on the opening day, it's fair to say it's a game worthy of approaching with a bit of trepidation against

Match Preview - Morton vs Arbroath (28th January)

Morton v Arbroath - Match Preview by Russell Gordon After last weekend’s disappointment and controversy at Celtic Park, Morton’s involvement in Scotland’s domestic cup competitions has ended for another season, allowing Dougie Imrie and his charges to concentrate on getting a league campaign that has stuttered in the last month or so back on track as Morton look to regain their place in the top four and push themselves further up the table.  With postponements over the festive per

Match Preview - Morton vs Arbroath (26th February)

Morton vs Arbroath – Match Preview by Russell Gordon. The irresistible force faces up to the immovable object on Saturday as the Championship's form team host the league leaders in a match-up which could have all the makings of a thriller- not something that has often been anticipated when these two have met in recent years. With Kilmarnock in hot pursuit by picking up maximum points from their last two games as leaders Arbroath were exiting the Scottish Cup at the hands of Hibernian a

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

Morton v Arbroath - Match Preview by Russell Gordon. After last weekend’s unforeseen sabbatical, Morton return to action at Cappielow Park supported by Dalrada Technology against last season’s Championship runners-up, Arbroath, as they look to recover from the narrow defeat to this season’s shock troops, Ayr United. The club are no longer selling streams for individual matches, but overseas fans can purchase full or half season tickets for the ‘Ton TV service at a very reasonable

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 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

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 - Montrose vs Morton (9th October)

Montrose vs Morton – Match Preview by Dean McKinnon. There is an old football adage that prophesises cup competitions can be a welcome distraction from league duty. Gus MacPherson will hope that adage proves correct on Saturday, with Morton traveling north to take on Montrose in the SPFL Trust Trophy on Saturday. Despite a much-improved performance against Arbroath last Saturday, in which a dubious penalty award robbed The Ton of all three points, the Sinclair Street side are without a

Kilmarnock vs Morton – Match Preview by Dean McKinnon Gus MacPherson’s side travel down the coast tomorrow for the first league meeting between Morton and Kilmarnock since the 1992/93 season – when Gus MacPherson was playing for the Ayrshire side. Looking to improve upon an incredibly disappointing performance and result at Partick Thistle a fortnight ago, the Cappielow side will take confidence from the 1-1 draw against tomorrow’s opponents in this season’s League Cup group stages.

Kelty Hearts vs Morton – Match Preview   by Dean McKinnon  Morton’s new season kicks off tomorrow with a new opponent and a new stadium for the Ton faithful to visit. Despite the last-gasp heartache of Dougie Imrie’s men missed out on the promotion playoffs - although I’m sure the Morton support managed to find some catharsis during said playoffs - last season was a clear success for the club. With the summer retention list being sizably longer than Morton fans have come to e

Match Preview - Inverness vs Morton (Championship 9th Match)

Inverness vs Morton – Match Preview by Dean McKinnon. As Morton enter the final third of this shortened Championship season, the situation is far from ideal at the Tail of the Bank. The Ton are second bottom of the table and in the midst of a winless run that extended to double figures on Saturday, as Morton fell 2-0 to fellow strugglers Ayr United at Cappielow. A flat and uninspiring result lead to a huge outpouring of anger from the Cowshed faithful on Saturday night as Morton fans b

For a third time already this season, Morton head up the A9 for a visit to Inverness hoping to complete the set after a defeat and a draw at the Caledonian Stadium already this season. After Friday night's TV thriller against Raith Rovers, the 'Ton can go into the fixture with a degree of confidence that we don't often have when visiting what hasn't been a particularly happy hunting ground down the years.

Inverness Caledonian Thistle v Morton - Match Preview  by Russell Gordon Having enjoyed a productive month of December, which has seen Morton accumulate more points than in the entirety of the season before the month began, Dougie Imrie’s side make the arduous journey to the Highlands to visit Inverness Caledonian Thistle. With the ‘Ton currently sitting in fifth place, ahead of their hosts by a point, a victory over the Highlanders would be a fantastic way to wrap up 2023.

Gus MacPherson’s side will travel up the A9 to the Caledonian Stadium for the second time this season, tasked with toppling a very impressive Inverness side.

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. Dougie Imrie’s side looked very impressive despite the stalemate, creating numerous chances that was coupled with a solid defensive performance. The Ton gaffer will be hoping that, having conceded the lowest number of league goals so far this campaign, that his side can start finding the net and climbing the table.

In the wake of taking one point from six against League One sides Falkirk and Clyde, The Ton are now relying on winning their remaining two fixtures, and some very favourable results elsewhere, if they have any chance of progressing to the Second Round of the competition.
