The Miramichi Buildings in Port Glasgow were offices for a lumber yard on the Clyde shore where timbers from New Brunswick were offloaded and sawn up. The site is now a Tesco Extra. It would be interesting to hear how people in Port Glasgow pronounced Miramichi, but the memory of that might be lost. (People in New Brunswick say MEERmiSHEE.) Source.
Morton visit Hamilton. Morton are fifth in the division with 30 points, Hamilton tenth with 11. Hamilton are in dire shape this season. They have only 2 wins in league play, the last one coming October 18th. They have not scored in a league match since November 11th.
But they're into the Challenge Cup semi-finals. (See below.)
Morton have a win and a draw against the Accies so far this season.
Compare and contrast the Accies and Morton. So far in the 21st Century Hamilton have spent ten seasons in the Premiership, Morton zero. But they each suffered a plunge to the bottom division early in the century: Hamilton were in Division Three in 2000-01, Morton 2002-03. Attendance is about the same: when Morton visited Hamilton July 30th, attendance was 1,357. When Hamilton visited Morton October 8th it was 1,361.
Morton have acquired striker Ally Roy on loan from Glentoran. Roy has also played for Hearts, East Stirlingshire, Stenny, Dumbarton, Sligo Rovers, Derry City, Partick Thistle, Airdrieonians and Queen of the South. While with Queen of the South he scored against Morton in the August 21, 2021 match at Cappielow.
