Beazley Fields, off Caledonia Road in Dartmouth, was the home ground of the Nova Scotia Clippers of the Canadian Soccer League in 1991. I've never been there, too many rules.
It's the Challenge Cup, Round Three. Morton visit Links Park to face Montrose FC. These two teams met in the playoffs at the end of last season: Montrose won the first leg 2 - 1 at home, and Morton won the return leg 3 - 1 at Cappielow. Currently Montrose are sixth in League One.
Montrose got here by defeating Stirling Albion in Round Two, while Morton beat Celtic B.

Garrity has been loaned out to Annan. Oksanen has been called up by Finland. Goalkeeper Chris Wylie has left the club. He leaves with a perfect record, only ever having appeared in that Challenge Cup Round Two win over Celtic B.
As of October 7th Jim McInally (Morton manager 2004-08) has been manager of Peterhead FC for ten years.

Greenock Morton results for 1891-92:
Morton were a member of the Scottish Football Alliance in 1891-92. They also played in the preliminary rounds of the Scottish Cup, as well as the Renfrewshire Cup and the Greenock and District Charity Cup. And there were friendlies, some of them against other members of the Scottish Alliance. I have followed the Scottish Football Historical Archive as to which games are genuine Scottish Alliance matches, and have treated the others as friendlies.
There were three senior leagues operating in Scotland in 1891-92: the SFL, the Scottish Alliance, and the Scottish Federation. Twelve of today's SPFL clubs were in these leagues: Dumbarton, Celtic, Hearts, Rangers, Clyde and St Mirren in the SFL; Kilmarnock, Morton and Partick Thistle in the Alliance; and Albion Rovers, Falkirk and Motherwell in the Federation.
