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

Scott Bannerman. Brian Wake. Carlo Monti. Greg Kiltie. Charlie Telfer. Among the nerves and pessimism surrounding this evening’s relegation shootout, there is an opportunity for someone to place their name among those who have stepped up when the club has needed them most. Morton and Ayr both have 28 points to their name, with Arbroath boasting one more point, sitting on 29. With David Hopkin’s side taking on an Inverness side with nothing to play for, Morton’s task sounds simple on paper. It’s

Match Preview - Morton vs Ayr United (26th March)

Morton vs Ayr United – Match Preview by Dean McKinnon and Craig Dunning Sixth place Morton will look to all but confirm Championship football in Inverclyde next season as they welcome eighth place Ayr United to Cappielow. Manager Dougie Imrie will be a welcome addition to the Cappielow dugout tomorrow for the first time since The Ton’s 2-1 win over Queen of the South, having now served his six-match touchline ban handed down for historic betting breaches. The Ton will be hoping the gaf

Match Preview - Morton vs Inverness (Championship 6th April)

Morton vs Inverness - Match Preview by Dean McKinnon It’s back to league business for The Ton tomorrow night in the first of five crunch matches as Gus MacPherson looks to retain Championship football at the Tale of the Bank for another season. Morton will look to improve upon a somewhat clunky and pedestrian performance against part time East Fife on Saturday, with The Ton being far from their best despite Robbie Muirhead’s curling effort securing a Fourth Round tie against Motherwell

Match Preview - Raith Rovers vs Morton (20th November)

Raith Rovers vs Morton – Match Preview by Dean McKinnon. Morton return to Fife for the second away trip in succession, this time facing a tougher task in the form of Raith Rovers. John McGlynn’s side sit second in the Championship, three points behind league leaders Kilmarnock. The Kirkcaldy side are undefeated in six league outings and will look to compound the misery inflicted upon Morton by the aforementioned Kilmarnock last week.

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.

Arbroath vs Morton – Match Preview by Dean McKinnon. Morton head north to take on high-flying Arbroath as the curtain falls on the 2021/22 season.

Match Preview - Queen of the South vs Morton (23rd October)

Queen of the South vs Morton – Match Preview by Dean McKinnon. Morton continue to rack up the miles this month, with Saturday’s outing to Palmerston to face Queen of the South the most crucial to date. The Sinclair Street side are now without a win in seven Championship outings, stretching all the way back to 7th August. With The Ton sitting second bottom of the Championship amidst their winless run, the pressure is growing on manager Gus MacPherson. To compound the on-field issues at

Match Preview - Dunfermline vs Morton (6th November)

Dunfermline vs Morton – Match Preview by Dean McKinnon. Morton and Dunfermline have chosen two different paths this week as they aim to climb out of the Championship relegation slots. Morton, now without a win in ten league outings following last weekend’s 1-1 draw against Hamilton, have chosen to allow Gus MacPherson to remain in the Cappielow dugout, a sentiment not matched by their Fife counterparts. The Pars board relieved manager Peter Grant of his duties this week, with former Sc

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.

Gus MacPherson’s Morton side will endeavour to take a massive step towards Championship survival on Saturday as they square off against Queen of the South.

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

Morton v Hamliton Academical – Match Preview by Russell Gordon. After what can only be described as two very contrasting results against Glasgow’s other gruesome twosome in the last week, Morton return to Cappielow Park supported by Dalrada Technology Ltd. on Saturday to face a Hamilton side who have endured a difficult start to the campaign.  Streams are available to fans out with the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland via the club’s season and half season passes, priced at £

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

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

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.

East Fife vs Morton – Match Preview by Dean McKinnon. The Ton travel to Methil on Saturday seeking progression to the Fourth Round of this season’s delayed Scottish Cup. While cup progression will be in the forefront of Gus MacPherson’s mind, it’s safe to say that the nation’s showpiece competition is something of a sideshow to a Morton side embroiled in a relegation battle. With Inverness traveling to Cappielow on Tuesday night, the gaffer may consider an element of squad rotation to

Morton v Hamilton Academical – Match Preview by Russell Gordon It feels like we’ve been saying it for weeks now, but the visit of relegation threatened Hamilton Accies to Cappielow Park supported by Dalrada Technology really does have the feel of an evening in which Morton will be drinking in the last chance saloon if they wish to keep their hopes of sneaking into the play-offs alive. After too many damaging results in the last six weeks or so, even a win is only likely to make a
