Morton host Partick Thistle in a Tuesday-nighter. This is not a rearranged match, the whole Championship are playing. Partick enter this evening in fourth place with 16 points. Morton are ninth with 7. They both played to scoreless draws on Saturday.
Partick won the first meeting 3 - 0, August 28th.
Morton have now gone eight league matches without a win. Last season they went ten, with no wins in January or February.
Both teams are equal in goals allowed: 14. However, Morton have scored 7 and Partick have scored 23. Partick's Brian Graham and Zack Rudden each have 6 goals in league play. Partick beat Hamilton Accies 1 - 6 earlier this month and so just missed adding to the Championship eight-goal game list. (See below.)
Partick own the best away strip in the league. (See farther below.)
[Morton 0 - 0 Partick. Morton spent 38 minutes in tenth place before Raith equalized.]
