Morton welcome Queen of the South to Cappielow for their second meeting of the year, which can only mean one thing: Queens' Greatest Moment.
Queens' Greatest Moment came on May 24th, 2008, at Hampden Park, when they faced Rangers in the Scottish Cup final. They had got there by beating Peterhead 5 - 0, Linlithgow Rose 4 - 0, Morton 2 - 0, Dundee 2 - 0 and Aberdeen 4 - 3. Rangers opened the scoring with goals by Boyd at 33' and Beasley at 43'. But after the half QoS came back with two quick ones by Tosh and Thomson at 50' and 52'. The game remained tied until 71' when ... Boyd scored again. Rangers won.
Bismillah, no!
Morton beat Queen of the South 2 - 0 in their first match, which was also played at Cappielow. The two sides were to have met at Palmerston in December, but winter intervened, meaning their final two matches will be on Queens' turf. So Morton should try to salt away a win now. Well, they should always do that. Morton's style of low-scoring soccer is gradually paying off as they drift up the standings past teams that can't keep the ball out of the net, and now they sit just behind QoS with the same number of points and a similar goal differential, though with three more games played. A win today would be dynamite with a laser beam.
[And Morton bite the dust. QoS 4 - 0. Without even playing, Partick move up to fifth place. Dundee of course win and move into seventh.]
