The Morton away strip for 2015-16.
Morton travel to Alloa to play The Wasps. Will both teams wear yellow?
The last time Morton and Alloa played in the same division, 2013-14, the Wasps won all four games. Alloa knocked Morton out of the 2014-15 Challenge Cup as well. Morton's last win against them came in 2011.
The Wasps are, of course, named after the play by Aristophanes. How many other clubs take their name from one of his Old Comedies? Lillestrøm SK are nicknamed Fugla, i.e. The Birds. Levante UD are Les Granotes, The Frogs.
Alloa have not collected a point in three league matches. They have scored two goals and surrendered eleven. They are out of both the Challenge Cup and League Cup.
When a club wins League One, how well should it do the next season in the Championship? Based on the historical record, going back to creation of the four-tier format in 1994, the likiest outcomes are 5th or 8th (four times each), then 7th or 10th (three times each), 1st, 3rd or 4th (twice each), but never 2nd, 6th or 9th. Partick and Gretna were the clubs that went directly from 1st to 1st. When Morton were promoted in 1995 they went to 3rd place the next year; when they were promoted in 2007 they went on to finish 8th.
In three league and three cup matches Morton have still not scored a goal in the first half.
Do teams in yellow receive more yellow cards? At season's end I'll count up Morton's yellow cards at home and away and we'll find out.
