Battle of Berezina, 1812

The French army suffered disaster on November 26-29, 1812, as it was attacked while crossing the Berezina River in what is now Belarus. Painter January Suchodolski gave his painting a triangular composition by drawing your eye to this woman in yellow woman in the left foreground, a woman with a child in the right foreground, and a massive explosion across the river in the centre background. See the whole picture here.

Morton host Dunfermline Athletic. The Pars are fourth with 33 points; Morton are sixth with 31 and a game in hand.

Morton have a win and a draw against the Pars in league play so far this season and knocked them out of the Scottish Cup a couple of weeks ago.

Morton's win over Dundee United last weekend effectively ended the title race. St Mirren will gain promotion. And Brechin, who still only have four points, and here it's February, will be demoted. So now it's an eight team race, the top six competing for three promotion playoff spots, while Falkirk and Dumbarton try to avoid ninth place.

[Morton win 2 - 1. Goals by Tidser and Oliver.]

Other match of the day: St Mirren vs QoS. A Morton win coupled with a St Mirren win will put Morton in fourth place.

[St Mirren do win, so Morton vault over Dunfermline and QoS into fourth.]

Stewart Regan has resigned from his post as SFA chief executive.

1944-45. Morton visited Shawfield Stadium where they lost 1 - 0 to Clyde.
