The JFL Cup begins. Like the J League the JFL needed a tournament to fill in the months between 2025 and 2026-27. The 16-team JFL will divide into two 8-team groups and each group will play a single round robin, each club playing seven games. The top two clubs from each group will enter into a playoff. Winner gets a trophy.
To help spread the table out, regulation time winners get 4 points. Shootout winners get 2, shootout losers 1, and regulation time losers 0.

The Burns Memorial at Mauchline, Ayrshire exudes a baronial self-satisfaction pretty far removed from the spirit of Burns’ poetry. Sunday is Robert Burns Day.
Morton visit Arbroath. This is a Friday-nighter for BBC Scotland. Arbroath are third in the Championship with 36 points. Morton are seventh with 22. Last weekend Arbroath were put out of the Scottish Cup by Airdrie, and Morton were blown out by Stenhousemuir.
Morton have not won a match since December 12th. But so far this season they have a win and a draw against Arbroath.
Josh McPake (Morton 2020-21) has signed a pre-contact with Hearts, which means he’ll remain with St Johnstone ’til the end of this season. He’s currently the Championship’s leading scorer.

Morton visit Partick Thistle. Partick are second in the division with 39 points, Morton seventh with 22. Both meetings so far this season have ended as draws.
Morton played to a scoreless draw against Partick Thistle on this date in 1920, and beat them 3 – 1 on this date in 1931. Morton’s record against all comers on January 3rd is 10 wins, 12 draws and 13 losses, according to Fitbastats.
Morton have scored 18 goals in league play entering this match. Twelve players have scored, and none of them has more than 3 league goals on the season. Partick’s Logan Chalmers has 6.
Ian Murray is the new Morton manager. He has previously managed Dumbarton, St Mirren, Airdrieonians and Raith Rovers. By my count he has 6 wins against Morton, 5 draws and 8 losses.
Morton chairman John Laird has resigned.

Kilsyth, 1926. Kilsyth is on the northeast fringe of Glasgow, situated between the Kilsyth Hills to the north, the River Kelvin to the south, and bogs and marshes to the east and west. It was the site of the Battle of Kilsyth between Royalists and Covenanters in 1645. It’s the home of the first curling club, founded in 1716. Building stone has been quarried here for centuries, which has left several large holes in the townscape.
Kilsyth Rangers began in 1913 and play at Duncansfield Park. Kilsyth Athletic was formed in 2002 and uses Kilsyth Sports Field as its home ground. The two are in the West of Scotland League Second Division this year and play each other today.
Morton visit St Johnstone. St Johnstone are top of the division with 38 points. Morton are seventh with 21.
The season is half over. Morton are on track to finish with 42 points, good enough for sixth place in last year’s Championship.
Hearts are after St Johnstone’s top scorer Josh McPake (who played for Morton in 2020-21). McPake leads the Championship with 12 goals. It’s not too long since Rangers were after Hearts’ top scorer.
Hamilton Academical have been docked 9 points for failing to maintain a bronze licence.
Gary Miller has taken on the role of interim head coach at Morton.

With the World Cup approaching like a distant cloud of locusts the CFL has had to plan ahead and release its 2026 schedule early. There will be no Argonaut home games between May 29th (preseason week 3) and August 6th (regular season week 10) and no BC Lions home games between May 23rd (preseason week 2) and June 27th (Week 4). As the Lions are giving themselves less than 24 hours to convert their stadium from World Cup to CFL football after New Zealand vs Belgium June 26th, you can imagine a postponement happening.
