Ancient rivals Auchinleck Talbot and Cumnock Juniors have their home grounds about three miles apart in East Ayrshire. Both clubs are members of the West of Scotland League Premier Division. They met in last year’s Scottish Junior Cup, Round One, and also last night in the senior Scottish Cup, Round One.
Morton host Ross County. Morton are eighth in the Championship with 6 points, Ross County ninth with 3.
Morton’s Eamonn Brophy played for Ross County from 2023 to 2025. Ross County’s Jamie Lindsay played for Morton in 2016-17. Pessimistic Staggies supporters at Pie and Bovril have been debating how many goals Brophy will score today — one or three.
The last Morton player to score against Ross County was George Oakley, July 22nd, 2023.
Late breaking: Morton have signed Aaron Lyall on loan from Ross County. Lyall played for Morton last season. He’s barred from playing against the Staggies today.
