Morton at Glasgow Central Station, July 20, 1969. Source.
Today Morton were to visit Partick Thistle. Partick are in fifth place with 31 points. Morton are tenth with 14. But Partick have the Covid, so the game is off.
Morton and ninth-place Dunfermline have nearly identical records at this moment, so Morton could move into ninth place if the Pars lose to Raith by two goals. [But no.]
