It's the second instalment of our 'A Moment in Time' series, where we contextualise Morton results from yesteryear. In this episode, Alan and Dean are joined by guests Gerry McGeehan and Gordon Richardson to reflect on the Scottish Cup Quarter Final replay against Motherwell at Cappielow in 1991.
A Moment in Time is our new series, fronted by Alan, taking a detailed look at some of the most significant games in Morton's history. In this episode Dean, Alan, Stephen and guest Gordon Ritchardson take a look at the Peterhead game that clinched the 2003 Third Division title, discussing Morton as a club at that point as well as some cultural and political landmarks of the time.

Punts, Punishments And Pitch Invasions
A Review of Morton’s 2021-22 Season, Part Three.
By Russell Gordon
It’s fair to say the point collected at Rugby Park was an unexpected bonus, but as we welcomed the new year, the same couldn’t be said about the visit of fellow strugglers Dunfermline Athletic for a match that was very much of the six-pointer variety. Defeat in Imrie’s debut in the Cappielow dugout would’ve seen Morton drop to the foot of the table b
Dean, Darren and Ewan analyse the second half of the season under Dougie Imrie. The panel also discuss next season's Championship and the potential benefits of the club switching to a 'hybrid' model. Women's manager Colin McEachnie also chats with Dean about his first three months in the role.

The Axe Falls And A New Broom Sweeps Into Town…
A Review of Morton’s 2021-22 Season, Part Two.
By Russell Gordon
With the league campaign going from bad to worse, Morton’s fans had the welcome relief of a couple of cup ties to distract them from the more pressing of avoiding the drop from the Championship.
The long journey up to Inverness didn’t get the juices flowing for many though, with a paltry 31 fans making the trip for a game that it would

Out With The Old And In With The New…
A Review of Morton’s 2021-22 Season, Part One.
By Russell Gordon.
After the rollercoaster ride that was season 2020-21, most Morton fans would’ve quite happily accepted a season of mid-table mediocrity with any realistic fears of relegation being extinguished as early as possible, even if there was no real danger of us threatening the play-offs at the other end of the table. Sounds boring on the surface perhaps, bu
Dean, Alan and Louise (very, very briefly) reflect on Friday night's game and chat about the play-offs at both ends of the Championship. The panel also give their verdicts on which players they would keep and who they would release.
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. 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. Imrie has hauled a Ton side seemingly doomed to relegation under the tutelage of Gus MacPherson to Championship survival with room to spare. The man who scored the Greenock side’s most famous goal of this m

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. With the Highlanders guaranteed a place in the promotion play-offs, Morton still require a solitary point, or for either Ayr United or Dunfermline to drop against Partick and Queen of the South respectively to secure our own pl
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

1922 And All That- Morton’s Finest Hour And A Half
By Russell Gordon
One hundred years to the day. A lot has happened since- we’ve had another World War, the creation of the BBC and the NHS, the reconvening of a Scottish Parliament, the fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of the Soviet Union, the formation of the EU and Britain’s decision to join and its decision to leave, not to mention the death of our opponents from that famous day amongst many other chang
Dean, Craig and Louise discuss Saturday's outstanding win against Raith, preview the game against Hamilton and discuss which players we'd be looking to retain for next season. Dean also chats with Girls' Pathway Coordinator Caitlin McKee about her role.

It’s football for a fiver in Fife again as Morton visit the Kingdom for their penultimate away trip of the campaign to face newly crowned SPFL Trust Challenge Cup winners, Raith Rovers. With a place in the promotion play-offs probably out of reach by this stage for Morton, the focus will be on collecting three points to rid us of any lingering relegation fears, which weren’t helped by the Rovers’ capitulation to Dunfermline in th
The Morton Disabled Supporters’ Association- A Chat With Bryan Purdue…
by Russell Gordon
It’s fair to say that there have been a number of welcome developments at Morton in recent months, with the arrival of Dougie Imrie and the team’s subsequent improved form that has seen us climb the table to the brink of survival in the Championship with a bit to spare, and hopefully with no need for last season’s brinksmanship.
However, one change that has perhaps gone under the radar slightl

The TV cameras again rock up in Greenock tonight with Morton welcoming BBC Scotland and league leaders Kilmarnock to Cappielow as the Championship title race heads into its final straight, and the hosts look to finally dispel any lingering fears of relegation and a season of slumming it with wee Falkirk.

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
