The Glasgow Herald on Morton versus Peterhead in the 1937-38 Scottish Cup.
It’s the Scottish Cup Round Three, when the Championship clubs join in. Morton visit Peterhead. These two clubs met in this year’s League Cup group stage. Morton won that match 4 – 2 with goals by Cameron Blues, Kris Moore, Ali Crawford and Zak Delaney.
To date Morton and Peterhead are even in Scottish Cup competition, Morton prevailing in 1938 and 2018, Peterhead in 2001 and 2008.
Morton’s Aaron Comrie played for Peterhead in 2017. Peterhead’s Craig McGuffie played for Morton in 2020-21, as did Niall McGinn last season.
Dougie Imrie has moved on to Raith Rovers. Imrie was just a month shy of his fourth anniversary as Morton manager, and a week shy of Jim Duffy’s tenure. Billy Davies takes over as interim manager. This really is a sideways move by Imrie. Raith are only 1 point ahead of the Ton and 2 goals behind on goal difference and have already been beaten by seven different Championship opponents including the three bottom clubs. Some words that were spoken during the transfer process have necessitated a statement from the Greenock Morton board.
[Peterhead 2 – 2 Morton. two goals for Adeloye plus a red card. Morton win on PK, with shootout goals by Shaw, Moore, MacPherson, Longridge and Ballantyne.]
