It’s the last day of the season. Morton host Airdrieonians. Morton are eighth in the division with 37 points. Airdrie are ninth with 35. Morton can finish the day anywhere from sixth place to tenth.
If Morton beat Airdrie, and Queen’s Park and Ayr United both lose, and Morton make up a 3-goal deficit with Queen’s Park, Morton will finish sixth.
If Morton win and only one of Queen’s Park and Ayr United draw or win, Morton will finish seventh.
If Morton, Queen’s Park and Ayr United all win, Morton will finish eighth. If Morton and Airdrie play to a draw, Morton will finish eighth.
If Airdrie beat Morton, and Ross County lose, Morton will finish ninth and go into a playoff against either Alloa or Queen of the South.
If Airdrie beat Morton, and Ross County win and make up a 4-goal deficit, Morton will finish tenth and be relegated.
The last time Morton went into the final weekend not knowing their fate was 2021. They finished ninth and had to beat Montrose and Airdrie in the playoffs to stay up.
Morton have met New Airdrieonians on the last day of the season only once before, on May 15th, 2004. Airdrie won 2 – 0.

Meanwhile in the Championship Morton travel to Dingwall. Morton are eighth with 37 points, Ross County tenth with 31. So far this season Morton have two wins and a draw against the Staggies.
Morton are not out of the relegation woods yet. If they lose both remaining fixtures, and Airdrie and Ross County both win both of theirs, Morton will end up ninth, tied with Ross County at 37 points but ahead of them on goal difference. Ross County are 12 goals behind Morton in that department..
Morton have racked up 13 draws in league play so far this season. There have been only four years in which they recorded more: 14 in 1920-21 and 2001-02, 16 in 1989-90, and 17 in 1993-94.
Ayr United have accumulated 15 draws. If they play to a draw against Airdrieonians today then Morton are safe from relegation.
