Having entertained Raith Tuesday Morton host Dunfermline today. This Friday night game is for the benefit of BBC Scotland. It's Morton's first Friday-nighter since match 36 of last season.
Dunfermline sit eighth with 11 points. Morton are tenth with 8. The Pars are hopeless at Cappielow, and as ICT play undefeated Dundee United this weekend it's a golden opportunity for Morton to move out of last place.
At the moment only the top three Championship clubs have winning records. Fourth-place Ayr have two more losses than wins and a -6 goal difference.
