Partick Thistle vs Morton – Match Preview
by Dean McKinnon.
Morton take a short trip along the M8 on Saturday to Maryhill to face Championship new boys Partick Thistle. The Glasgow side, who pipped eventual playoff finalists Airdrieonians to the Leaugue One title by two points last season, will look to continue their impressive goalscoring form and remain as top goalscorers in the second tier so far this season. With Morton sitting closely behind Partick as joint second top goalscorers

Morton vs Queen of the South – Match Preview
by Dean McKinnon
Morton square off against familiar foes Queen of the South on Saturday, looking to build on their two impressive Championship results thus far. An opening day draw against Dunfermline followed by a remarkable away win to Hamilton leaves The Ton sitting four points ahead of the visitors, who have yet to claim their first league points of the season. With manager Gus MacPherson stating that his squad were four quality players
There has been a coup! Craig hosts this week's podcast with the panel analysing Saturday's victory, incoming transfers and Chris and Dean discussing their commentary debut on TonTV.
Hamilton vs Morton – Match Preview
by Dean McKinnon.
522 days. It’s been one year, five months and four days since Morton supporters were able to cheer on their team away from home. Three hundred fans will make their way to Lanarkshire hoping that Gus MacPherson’s men can pick up their first Championship win of the season. New Douglas Park has never been the most attractive away trip for Ton fans, nor has it proven a happy hunting ground historically for the Greenock side. That said, g

MorTEN- Whatever Happened To the Likely Lads?
by Russell Gordon
Saturday sees Morton return to New Douglas Park, Hamilton on league duty for the first time in over seven years, with only a surprise, Ross Forbes-inspired Betfred Cup victory en route to a Hampden semi-final in 2016 since that previous visit. Never a happy hunting ground since it opened in 2001, with only a late Alex Williams winner in the 2003-04 collapse season, a victory on Valentine's Day 20
We made it to 50 episodes! Craig, Dean and Stephen discuss Saturday's Championship opening fixture, areas that need strengthened in the squad and Saturday's trip to Hamilton.
Premier Sports Cup 2021/22 Summary – by Dean McKinnon.
Morton’s season got off to a somewhat troublesome beginning as pre-match COVID testing hindered The Ton’s curtain-raising clash at Stair Park. The match against Stranraer was forfeited as news broke that a substantial number of first team players faced a ten-day isolation period following positive tests in the squad. This was not a consequence unique to Morton, with Ross County and Dumbarton withdrawing from their matches against Forfar
Morton vs Dunfermline – Match Preview
by Dean McKinnon
Familiar is not a word we’ve used particularly often in the last eighteen months or so, having been replaced with the word unprecedented. Cappielow on Saturday will have a foot in both camps as the age-old anticipation of the start of a league campaign meets restrictions imposed to combat the spread of COVID. Face masks, staggered entry times and social distancing are unfamiliar requirements to observe our national sport, however t
Alan, Dean and Louise reflect on Morton's ill-fated League Cup group campaign, discuss what areas need strengthened and look ahead to our Championship clash with Dunfermline.

Chris Millar- A Tribute
by Russell Gordon
With another new season approaching, and the League Cup group stages taking on the role of the season's curtain raiser in recent years, Morton will welcome some unfamiliar guests next week in Lowland League "runners-up" East Kilbride. However, as we're well aware, their newly signed club captain certainly doesn't fit into such a category amongst the Cappielow faithful. This conveniently gives me a tenuous link to w
Dean, Alan and Craig continue our mini series discussing the legacy the Rae family are leaving behind. In Part Three, we discuss winning League One and the subsequent Championship seasons under Jim Duffy.

Part one of four. In this mini series, we analyse the legacy left behind by the Rae family. Dean, Stephen and guest panelist Alan Coyle reflect on Douglas Rae buying the club in 2001, the 2003 Third Division win, the collapse and 'betting scandal' of 2003/04 and the subsequent seasons through to winning the Second Division title in 2006/07.

By Russell Gordon.
Montrose away it was then, after it had looked like Morton were going to be forced into renewing hostilities with old pals, Falkirk. On paper an easier tie, but given Falkirk's spectacular (not to mention hilarious) collapse, that possibly wasn't the case. Morton made their second trip in just over a week up to Angus and could have been forgiven for having a bit of

A Review of Morton's 2020-21 Season, Part Two.
By Russell Gordon
As 2020 came to an end and 2021 began, Morton could actually look forward to the new year with a degree of optimism, in spite of all the uncertainty in the background. Sitting in a comfortable position in the table, and with a fixture list that looked quite favourable, even the most pessimistic of observers would've looked upon the month of
It's been an...erm...'interesting' season on Sinclair Street this year. Dean, Callum and Craig give their verdict on everything that has happened at Cappielow this year, discuss which players should stay and go, and Gus MacPherson's future.

A Review of Morton's 2020-21 Season, Part One.
By Russell Gordon
Well, that's it finished, then. Another season of struggle and a seventh consecutive season in the Championship awaits for Morton. When we look back in years to come, we'll see a ninth placed finish and a comfortable play off campaign that secured our Championship status with the minimum of fuss. But boy, that doesn't even scratch the surface of one of the mo
We've done it! Dean, Evan and Louise discuss both legs of the playoff final, the feeling of being back inside Cappielow and the future of Gus MacPherson.
