Morton host Inverness Caledonian Thistle in a match bumped from April 3rd due to the Scottish Cup. ICT hold fifth place, Morton are eighth. By coincidence Morton and ICT are the only two Championship clubs left in the cup.

ICT have won five in a row, league and cup. Morton have three wins and two loses in their last five.

Morton have a win and a draw from their two earlier league matches against Inverness.

Also tonight: Ayr United (7th) [0 - 3] Dundee (3rd).

Morton finished 2019-20 with these numbers:

G     W     D     L      F      A    GD    P

28    10     6    12    45    52    -7    36

Coming into today's game they have:

22      6     7      9    19    27    -8    25

Their record at home is:

11      4     3      4    12    13    -1    15

To equal last season's point total Morton need 3 wins and 2 draws, a tall order. To equal their 2019-20 goals scored they must average 5.2 goals per game from here on. Morton have not scored more than 3 goals in any match this season.

After Saturday's loss to Arbroath Alloa seem destined for tenth place, leaving Ayr United, Morton and Arbroath in a three-way race to evade ninth.

Morton's opponents in their remaining league games are ICT (today), Dundee, Hearts, Alloa, Arbroath.

Ayr have Dundee (today), Dunfermline, Arbroath, QoS and Inverness CT.

Arbroath have Raith, Ayr, Dunfermline and Morton.

Alloa have Hearts, Raith, Morton and Dunfermline.

I was going to work out all the permutations and combinations, but they've already done a good job of it here. Just bear in mind that everyone in the forum expects their own team to lose.

[Morton 1 - 4 ICT. Morton's goal was by Muirhead.]
