Morton visit Ayr United. Ayr are third in the division with 35 points, Morton seventh with 28. Ayr have beaten Morton twice already this season and at this point are the only club that can sweep them.
Morton are riding a streak of three consecutive draws. The last time they had three draws in a row was February/March 2014. The last time they had four in a row was January 2009. The club record is five draws, recorded October to November 1989. (Fitbastats shows a string of six draws in 1991, but one of the ones in the middle was a Scottish Cup replay that was decided by penalty kicks.) Inverness CT had seven in row from September to November 2018.
