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.

2025-26 Scottish Cup, Round One

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.
