Morton visit Queen of the South at Palmerston Park.
How awesome are Queen of the South? They sit first in the division, with 5 wins, 3 draws and 0 losses, for 18 points and a +10 gd. Stephen Dobbie has 6 goals in league play. Morton have 8. QoS held Hibernian to a scoreless draw. QoS have not lost at home since April 9th. Morton have not won at Palmerston in league action since 2011. Last weekend QoS knocked Linfield FC out of the Challenge Cup. They were eliminated from of the League Cup, however, by Rangers, 5 - 0.
Both QoS and Morton have played Dumbarton to a draw this season, so from that perspective they're equal.
Morton can finish the day anywhere from fifth to eighth.
[Queens are not very awesome today. Morton win 0 - 5. Goals by Forbes, McDonagh, Oliver, Quitongo and O'Ware. Match report. Morton end the first quarter of the season with 3 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses and a gd of +1.]
Last weekend was an international weekend, so the top divisions of European football did not play. But how many members of national squads actually play for clubs in their own leagues? Let's look at the five countries of the British Isles. Where do the players play?
Scotland: 13 in England, 5 in Scotland, 1 in Wales
Wales: 19 in England, 2 in Wales, 1 in Scotland, 1 in Spain
Northern Ireland: 20 in England, 4 in Scotland
Ireland: 24 in England, 3 in Scotland
England: 21 in England, 1 in Italy
1898-99. Today in 1898 Morton visited Kilmarnock (not at Rugby Park?) and lost 0 - 2.
After nine games Morton had three wins, one draw, and five losses, and a goal difference of -6. They had met two clubs twice (Airdrieonians and Kilmarnock), and two others (Linthouse and Abercorn) not at all.
How is the Macedonian 2. MFL like the Scottish Championship?
The 2. MFL is a winter league. Greatest travel distance, Tetovo to Strumica, is 153 km. Average stadium capacity is 4,100. The oldest club was founded in 1930, the youngest in 2010; the average age is 54.5 years. Pandev is an academy team. Its senior team is one league below it. There is a 27-game schedule. The top two Macedonian leagues are going to restructure into one league with east and west divisions for 2017-18, so there will be no promotion playoff at the top, but there should still be one at the bottom.
