Morton visit Queen's Park at Lesser Hampden (also called The City Stadium for facilities management reasons). Following last night's crazy Fife derby Queen's Park are sixth in the Championship with 4 points, and Morton are ninth with 3 points.
The early consensus is that both Morton and Queen's Park are weaker than last year. In competitive play (league and cup) so far this season Morton have 3 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses, but those wins were against Brechin, Alloa and Cowdenbeath.
On the bright side Queen's Park have not beaten the Ton in their last ten meetings.
Morton's biggest win against Queen's Park was a 6 - 0 scouring at Lesser Hampden October 12th, 1946. The Spider's best result against Morton was a 5 - 1 win at Lesser Hampden, November 6th, 1937.
Grant Gillespie played for Queen's Park from 2020 to 2022. Nobody on the Queen's Park squad has played for Morton.
[Queen's Park 1 - 0 Morton.]
