Alloa visit Cappielow.
After eleven league games Morton are seventh with 10 points. Alloa are ninth with 5. In their first meeting Morton won 0 - 1. Morton have lost four in a row, have not yet won at home and are -4 at Cappielow. Rangers' Martyn Waghorn has more goals than the whole of Greenock Morton. Now is a good time for a lopsided home win. At the beginning of the season I called for four wins against Alloa. When was the last time Morton did that against anyone? Last year: Dunfermline and Stirling Albion. When was the last time Morton did that to Alloa? Never, but they took three wins off them in 1977-78, in the three meetings era.
[Morton win 1 - 0. Goal Forbes.]
