Livingston visit Cappielow. Livi are second in the Championship with 61 points. Morton are sixth with 41. So far this season Livi have won once with two draws in league play against Morton, whom they also knocked out of the Challenge Cup.
If Partick win, and Morton and Dunfermline lose, Morton are into the 2025-26 Championship.
Morton typically go into a slump at the tail end of the season. They are without a win in three games, and have not scored in two. Yet, in 2022-23 they recorded 3 wins and a draw in the final four matches, so it can be done.
Thomas O'Ware has become interim manager at Kelty Hearts.
