Morton host Hamilton Academical. Morton are sixth with 40 points, Hamilton seventh with 39. In three previous meetings each side has earned a win, a draw and a loss. Morton's league record in 2022 is 7W 5D 2L, Hamilton's 4W 7D 3L. If Morton win by 2 goals, and Raith lose by 2, Morton will take over fifth place.
Hamilton's top scorer is Andy Ryan with 11 goals in league play. Gozie Ugwu has 8.
After last weekend's games Morton cannot finish in tenth place. Depending on today's results Morton, Hamilton and Raith Rovers can have booked a place in next season's Championship by the final whistle. And Cove Rangers can win League One, which would earn them promotion to the 2022-23 Championship.
When was the last time Morton and Hamilton met in the top division? January 15th, 1966. Morton won 3 - 0 at Cappielow.
Yesterday was the hundredth anniversary of Morton's first and to date only Scottish Cup final win, 'a poor game' in the opinion of the Glasgow Herald.
[Morton 0 - 1 Hamilton.]
