You often hear the expression "one of the leading lights" to describe an individual who is prominent in some field of endeavour, but what exactly is a leading light? It's a navigational aid, and here's one on the Greenock Esplanade, combining neo-classical and contemporary elements, and yellow paint. Source.
St Johnstone visit Cappielow for their Scottish League Cup quarter-final match against Greenock Morton.
The last time these two clubs met was October 30th, 2013, in the quarter-final of the 2013-14 Scottish League Cup. St Johnstone won that game 0 - 1. So today is a League Cup quarter-final grudge match.
How have St Johnstone fared over the past ten League Cups? QF (2014-15), SF, QF, R3, QF, SF, R2, R2, SF, R2 (2005-06), a total of 36 rounds. Morton? R2 (2014-15), QF, R2, R2, R2, R2, R3, R1, R1, R1 (2005-06), for a total of 20.
[Both Morton and St Johnstone wear blue and white, so the powers that be have ruled that both teams must wear their away strips tonight. Morton are yellow and blue; St Johnstone white and black.]
[Morton 1 - 3 St Johnstone. Morton goal scored ironically by Johnstone.]
Other QF games: Caley Thistle [1 - 2] Ross County; Hearts [1 - 2] Celtic (tomorrow); Hibs [3 - 0] Dundee United (Nov. 4).
Ottawa Fury have won the NASL Fall Season. They came in 9th in the Spring. The NASL is looking to expand to 20 teams, and Celtic are thinking of buying a franchise.
