The Morton squad 1969-70 with the Renfrewshire Cup, and a good look at those sheds that used to stand behind the Wee Dublin End.
Morton host Hamilton Academical. The Accies were the only side that Morton were able to beat in the first quarter of the season, consequently they are the only team that Morton can sweep in 2021-22.
Morton are clinging to ninth place by the skin of their teeth. Hamilton are seventh. Morton can finish the day as high as seventh or as low as tenth.
Accies' Ryan has 3 goals in league play. The entire Morton squad has 7.
