Morton host Hamilton Academical. Morton are mid-table, thanks to last weekend's scoreless draw against Partick Thistle (see below). Hamilton are joint bottom.
The Hamiliton squad includes three former Morton players: Lee Kilday (Morton 2014-19), Reghan Tumilty (2018-2020) and Sean McGinty (2020-21). Ali Crawford and Grant Gillespie both played for Hamilton from 2009 to 2018, and backup goalkeeper Gary Woods was an Accie from 2016 to 2019.
Hamilton players staged a walkout last week over unpaid wages.
The last Morton player to score against the Accies was Alexander King, April 11th, 2023.
Kirk Broadfoot turned 40 on Thursday.
