Alice Braga stars in the crime drama Queen of the South.
Morton visit Palmerston Park in Dumfries for their second league match against Queen of the South. The first meeting, on August 4th at Cappielow, ended in a 2 - 2 draw. Morton enter this evening's match in 6th place with 13 points and a -6 goal difference; QoS are 4th with 16 points and a +9 gd.
Morton are coming off a 5 - 0 scelping in Dingwall Saturday. They also surrendered 5 goals to Ayr United on Sept 29th. It's worrisome. Three 5-or-more goal losses in a season is the record for Morton in the 21st Century: it happened in 2000-01, 2011-12 and 2013-14.
The Ton will end the evening in 6th or 7th place. QoS can finish 3rd, 4th or 5th. (Okay, Morton can finish 4th or 5th, but it means scoring something like 15 goals.)
Stephen Dobbie leads the league with 12 goals. Collectively Morton have 11.
Michael Doyle and Gary Harkins have played for Morton. Bob McHugh and Gary Oliver have played for QoS. On the QoS roster is a Canadian named David Norman Jr., on loan from the Vancouver Whitecaps.
