What did they used to make in Alloa? Beer! Source.
Morton visit the Wasps. Alloa are coming off a win against Raith Rovers Tuesday, which means Morton stand a chance of retaking fourth place with a win and favourable results in the Dumbarton vs QoS, and St Mirren vs Raith games today. A win for Alloa will put the Wasps in contact with the pack trying to evade relegation.
[Match abandoned after 70 minutes due to snow. Alloa were leading 1 - 0.]
This is the second Saturday running that Queen of the South visit Dumbarton. The Sons won last weekend's Scottish Cup match 2 - 1. [Postponed due to frost.]

Queen's Park and Kilmarnock are the genuine Old Firm. But they seem to have wasted the 19th Century, playing each other only twice in competitions that anyone has heard of today: in the 1886-87 Scottish Cup, Round Six, Queen's Park beat Kilmarnock 0 - 5; in the 1892-93 Scottish Cup, Round Two, Queen's Park thrashed Killie 0 - 8.
You could sort the clubs into three divisions: Division One, founded in the 1860s and 1870s (16 teams); Division Two, founded in the 1880s and 1890s (14 teams); and Division Three, founded in the 20th and 21st Centuries (12 teams).
It's the beginning of the second half in the Turkish tier two (or Ptt 1. Lig) where our guys Karşıyaka play. They are currently in last place and must have a major turnaround if they are to avoid the drop. Karşıyaka [1 - 2] Adana Demirspor.
In the Hero I-League: Mohun Bagan [4 - 2] Salgaocar. Salgaocar are based in the former Portuguese colony of Gao, and one of India's few soccer hotbeds.
Largs Thistle [0 - 1] Maybole
