Morton visit Dundee. After the midweek matches Dundee are fourth with 17 points and a +3 goal difference, and Morton are fifth, also with 17 points but a +2 gd. In their first meeting back in August they played to a scoreless draw. The last Morton player to score on Dundee was Aidan Nesbitt, on April 10th, 2021.
The last time Morton won at Dens Park was on Boxing Day 2011. Andy Jackson was the goalscorer in a 0 - 1 win.
Morton have won their last three matches. Can they stretch that out to four? The last time they won four in a row was April to July 2019, but the close season fell between wins three and four. Before that was January to February 2018, but two of those four were cup games. The last time they won four league matches in a row in a single season was at the tail end of 2014-15 when they were in League One.
Dundee met Rangers in a League Cup quarter-final Wednesday. (See below.)
Morton's recent turnaround, in which they conceded 5 goals and then scored 5 a week later, is astonishingly similar to something that happened in 2018:
2018, under Jonatan Johansson:
2018/10/27 Ross County 5 - 0 Morton
2018/10/30 Queen of the South 1 - 2 Morton
