Morton host Inverness Caledonian Thistle. Morton enter this game in third place with 13 points. Can you believe that? ICT are sixth with 11 points. Last season Inverness won twice, Morton once, in league play, and ICT knocked Morton out of the Challenge Cup. Depending on how the other matches go Morton can finish the day anywhere from second place to seventh.
ICT's Wallace Duffy was signed with Morton in the early part of this year but he never made an appearance. Nobody on Morton has played for ICT.
[But the pitch is waterlogged and the game is postponed.]
