Nairn County celebrate their 2023 North of Scotland Cup triumph. Source.
It's the Challenge Cup, Round Four. Morton visit Hamilton Academical. This is a Friday night game for BBC Alba.
Seven Championship clubs remain in contention, plus six from League One, one each from League Two and the Lowland league, and one colt team.
Morton's recent record against divisional rivals in this cup is not stellar. (See below.)
Hamilton won both previous Challenge Cup matches against Morton, in 1992 and 2011.
Morton and Hamilton have near identical records in Championship at the moment, with 9 points each. They played to a scoreless draw in their first league meeting. The last Morton player to score on Hamilton was Alexander King, April 11th, 2023. If Morton win today it'll be the first time they have posted consecutive wins this season.
Hamilton were just this week fined £5000 for financial irregularities.
Carling is the new official beer of the SPFL. The brewery sponsored the Scottish Cup in 2010 and 2011 and the English League Cup from 2003 to 2012.
