Morton host Partick Thistle. Partick are second in the division with 17 points, Morton sixth with 10. The season is one-quarter over. If Morton keep up this pace they will finish with 40 points, good for seventh place in last year’s Championship.

Morton visited Partick Thistle on August 9th and played to a 1 – 1 draw. Ali Crawford was the Morton scorer.

Last week’s win against Airdrie was Morton’s first of the season, coming in their ninth league fixture. It also took Morton until the ninth game to secure a win in 1972-73. The club record was set in 1901-02 and equaled in 2008-09 when they got their first win in the tenth match.
