Giving this one a miss, will be at Hampden later,  and dreading that...

Scotland game, almost forgot about that.  It's good that the football authorities have ensured that there is no club v country dilemma for Morton supporters this Saturday.

I'll not be attending as the B sides are an abomination, but I still want us to win the tournament and I'll be there for any ties against real teams. With the winner of this playing the winner of Montrose v Stirling we've got a very good chance of our first trip to Montrose in 18 years as well.

This could be a chance to give some players in need of starts like Lyon, McGrattan and Knowles a run out while still sending a team out to win the game, but with the number of signings we've made I'd probably want the strongest team possible so Oksanen, Allan and Reilly are getting a game to gel with the players they'll be alongside against Kilmarnock. That still leaves a place for one of Lyon and McGrattan I suppose.

Gus said in his interview that it's unlikely he will field any of the new signings.

Didn't we play Montrose in the playoffs?

Ah I hadn't watched that yet. Would expect to see the three I mentioned above and maybe Garrity & Hynes getting a shot as well then.

Aye, I was meaning for fans but completely failed to make that clear.

I understand. Montrose is the type of club we should be aspiring to play on a regular basis.  Maybe that's what *Hoppy* was trying to do by signing all the shite that he did.

Is our first choice keeper injured?

[GiGi]

That's a 'run oot for the boys' team if ever I saw one. Clearly Gus not bothered about making it through although we still should probably win.

Assumed rested but surprised he isn't on the bench. Hopefully not or covid.
