A drone's eye view of Cappielow. Watch it here.
Peterhead head to Cappielow for an afternoon of natural turf association football. Morton won their first meeting 1 - 2.
Which League One clubs play on artificial turf at home? Forfar, Stenhousemuir, Airdrieonians.
Morton enter today's play in third place behind Forfar and Stranraer. Peterhead are in sixth place, but would have been in fifth had the league not expunged one of their victories on account of an ineligible player. Morton have not lost to Peterhead since 2008, though admittedly they haven't played them much.
Counting today's game, Morton's next five are against the bottom half of the division.
Ayr United have sacked their manager. The Honest Men held first place in August, beating Morton and Forfar early on in the season, but now they're ninth. And Dunfermline's manager has quit. They too led the division but are now in fourth.
The financial crisis at Livingston might be working in Morton's favour. If Livi finish the Championship season in eighth place or better, and then go into administration and are banished to League Two, it'll open up an extra promotion slot for a top League One club.
Which league clubs have gone the longest without playing a team from Ibrox? 4. Dundee (the last time was Oct. 27th, 2009); 3. Partick Thistle (September 24th, 2008); 2. Ross County (Nov. 28th, 2001); 1. Greenock Morton (Feb. 19th, 2000).
Yes, but compare the teams that haven't played Celtic in a long while: 4. Albion Rovers (Oct. 10th, 1976); 3. Stenhousemuir (Sept. 24th, 1975); 2. Cowdenbeath (March 13, 1971); 1. Elgin City (Feb. 18th, 1967). To which we might add Annan Athletic (never).
[Peterhead win 0 - 1. Morton remain in third place. Stranraer take over the league lead.]
Tomorrow Celtic and Dundee United meet in Scottish Premiership action. They are the only two clubs left that can win the Treble of Scottish League, Scottish Cup, and Scottish League Cup this season. [Tangerines win 2 - 1.]
