Stracathro Mansion House, Brechin. See.
Morton visit Brechin City.
After 18 games Morton have 7 wins, 6 draws and 5 losses, 26 goals for and 19 goals against, good for 27 points and fifth place. That's just a little bit behind last year's pace when they had 28 points and occupied third place.
Since 1994, on average, how many wins does it take to finish eighth in tier II and avoid relegation? 9.6.
Brechin are the only team remaining that Morton can sweep this season. St Mirren, Dunfermline, Queen of the South, Inverness CT and Dumbarton can also sweep Brechin.
Brechin are only the second tier II club since 1994 not to win a league match before New Year's. The other was Clydebank.
Morton can take over third place if they win today and Livingston and Dunfermline both lose. If Brechin lose today it will be their second seven-game losing streak of this season.
Luca Gasparotto who had been on loan to Morton from Falkirk has now been dropped by Falkirk and signed by Morton.
[1 - 1. Morton goal by McHugh. Morton slip to sixth place. Match report.]
Other match of the day: Falkirk vs Dundee United. It's difficult not to stare at Falkirk's continuing trainwreck of a season. Dundee United for their part can take over first place if they win by a couple and St Mirren lose to ICT by a couple. [Falkirk win 6 - 1 ! !]
1933-34. Morton visited Arbroath and came away with a 4 - 1 victory.
1944-45. Morton visited Celtic and lost 6 - 1.
