It’s the return of Dougie Imrie as his new team Raith Rovers visit Cappielow. Raith are sixth in the Championship with 28 points, Morton seventh with 26. 26 is the total number of points Morton earned in the relegation year of 2013-14.

Not so long ago Imrie was in charge at Morton and Morton’s new manager Ian Murray was in charge at Raith Rovers. What’s their record against one another?
2022/8/13 Murray 2 – 1 Imrie
2022/10/15 Imrie 1 – 0 Murray
2022/12/10 Murray 1 – 1 Imrie (Murray won on PK)

*Once the Championship League Cup finalists are known, the other eight clubs embark on the Consolation Cup. I’ve run this cup for four years so far and never once had a winner, because there are never enough fixtures left in the season to get to the final. This year I’m making a format change to try to speed things up. Instead of pairing up the teams according to their places in last season’s standings, I’ll choose the set of four fixtures that can be completed the soonest, barring postponements. One of those is today [but it’s postponed] and the other three are on February 28th.

The J League is in the midst of switching from summer to winter football. The 2025 season ended in December. The next season, 2026-27, will begin in August. That leaves a seven-month gap, which will be filled by a one-off tournament called the 100 Year Vision League. The name comes from the JFA’s 100 Year Plan, promulgated in 1992, to build toward 100 professional clubs and a World Cup championship by 2092.

For the purposes of this tournament the J1 League is divided into two ten-team sections, East and West. Each section will play a double round robin and the two first-place finishers will meet in a playoff for the overall championship and a place in the 2026-27 AFC Champions League Elite.

Mito HollyHock are in the East section. By happy chance all ten East teams are located in the Kanto region, making this a kind of super Kanto League. (The next Kanto league down is in tier five.) The East section is loaded with powerhouses: Kashima Antlers, Kashiwa Reysol, Machida Zelvia, Urawa Red Diamonds, Kawasaki Frontale, FC Tokyo, Yokohama F Marinos, Tokyo Verdy, Mito HollyHock and JEF United Chiba. If Mito finish better than ninth or tenth it’ll be a notable accomplishment. But it doesn’t matter — there will be no relegation at the end of the tournament.

J1 East, matchday 1:
Yokohama F Marinos 2 – 3 Machida Zelvia (yesterday)
JEF United [0 – 2] Urawa Red Diamonds
FC Tokyo [2 – 1] Kashima Antlers
Kawasaki Frontale [5 – 3] Kashiwa Reysol (tomorrow)
Tokyo Verdy [3 – 1] Mito HollyHock (tomorrow)

J2 and J3 also have a tournament going on. Their clubs have been lumped together and divided into four ten-team sections. And the JFL will have a thing called the JFL Cup, but it doesn’t start till March.

Ross County visit Cappielow. Morton hold seventh place with 23 points, and Ross County are ninth with 19. Morton have a win and a draw against the Staggies so far this season.

Stewart Kettlewell has been Ross County manager for a month. This is his second spell at the job, the first time having been from 2018 to 2020.

Ross County managed to climb out of automatic relegation last weekend. They have not been in tier III since 2007-08.

The last Morton player to score against Ross County was Michael Garrity, November 15th.

Half of Morton’s league matches have ended in draws, which puts them on track for 18 in 2025-26. The club record for draws in a season is 17, but that was in a 44-game schedule (1993-94).

It’s the Scottish Cup, Round Four, when the Premiership clubs join in. Morton visit Stenhousemuir. These two met in the League Cup group stage in July and Morton won 3 – 0.

Stenny’s best Scottish Cup run came in 1902-03 when they reached the semi-finals, where they were knocked out by Rangers. Morton reached the semi-finals in 1896-97, 1903-04, 1919-20, 1921-22 (when they won the cup), 1936-37, 1947-48 (when they lost the final to Rangers), 1967-68, and 1980-81.

In this century Morton reached the quarter-finals in 2015-16, 2017-18 and 2023-24.

Stenny reached the Challenge Cup quarter-finals this midweek. Morton went out in the second round.

Stenny’s manager Gary Naismith has been in the job for three years, putting him sixth in the SPFL’s managerial seniority list.

Tomi Adeloye has left the club. And alt-manager Billy Davies has too.

Match No. 47: INAC Kobe Leonessa 1 – 2 Sanfrecce Hiroshima Regina

Japanese football is making the switch from a summer schedule to a winter one, the better to fit into the international tournaments and give Japanese players easier access to foreign jobs. This change has been in the works for a few years. When the women’s WE League started in 2021 they knew the change was coming and went straight to the winter format. J1, J2, J3 and the JFL will make the change in June.

How did the 2025 season play out? Kashima Antlers won the J1 title. They and 2nd-place Kashiwa Reysol advance to the next AFC Champions League Elite. 6th-place Machida Zelvia won the Emperor’s Cup and advance to AFC Champions League Two. Sanfrecce Hiroshima won the Super Cup and the J League Cup. Yokohama FC, Shonan Bellmare and Albirex Niigata are relegated to J2.

Mito HollyHock, V-Varen Nagasaki and JEF United Chiba are promoted to J1. Roasso Kumamoto, Renofa Yamaguchi and Ehime FC are relegated to J3.

Tochigi City, Vanraure Hachinohe and Tegevagaro Miyazaki are promoted to J2. Azul Claro Numazu are relegated to the JFL.

Reilac Shiga are promoted to J3. Asuka FC are relegated from the JFL to the Kansai League. Atletico Suzuka are relegated from the JFL to the Tokai League. J-Lease and Vonds Ichihara are promoted to the JFL.

The WE League is ongoing, with INAC Kobe Leonessa currently leading. Loveledge Nagoya won Nadeshiko 1. Speranza Osaka are relegated to Nadeshiko 2. Vonds Ichihara Ladies are promoted to Nadeshiko 1. FC Imabari Ladies are relegated from Nadeshiko 2. Renofa Yamaguchi Ladies are promoted to Nadeshiko 2.
