How Morton's 16-game winless sequence compares to poorest runs in club history (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Something slightly different today. Many Morton supporters are feeling perplexed and apprehensive about the current situation at Cappielow, both on the pitch and in the boardroom. The clubâs outgoing sponsor, Dalrada Technologies, has financial problems, resulting in a reported £335,000 budget shortfall at Cappielow. Meanwhile, a potential new investor, Estrella Football Group, walked away, after facing delays during negotiations and apparent hostility thereafter. Itâs not clear what happen
Look back to a frustrating day as misfiring Morton missed out on cup final place (opens the original)

I’ve seen Morton in several League or Scottish Cup semi-finals, but unfortunately I’ve never seen them win one. I’d have to think back to 1963, and some grainy black and white TV highlights, to recall when the Greenock men defeated Hibernian in an Ibrox semi-final replay, to reach their most recent major cup final. And that was some 63 years ago! There were two subsequent League Cup semi-final appearances in the sixties, resulting in two losses to Celtic (in 1964 and 1967), followed by two Scott
The special Morton season that featured promotion and a memorable cup run (opens the original)

Today, I’m looking at Morton in the late 1930s - and in particular the triumphant campaign of 1936/37. Having started the decade in the top flight, the Greenock club were relegated in 1933. By June 1934, a new manager was introduced, Jackie Wright, who had played more games for Morton than anyone else at that time (413), winning international honours and a cup-winner’s medal. Few of the players Wright inherited survived a major reshaping of his squad; half-backs Rooney and Robb and centre-forwar
Here's how one of the best goalkeepers in the world came to play for Morton (opens the original)

IN one of my first articles for this column, I wrote about Morton’s 'Scandinavian Invasion', which saw a dozen Danes joining the club between 1964 and 1969. Goalkeeper Erik Sorensen was the first, and arguably most significant, of those Danish imports. He appeared 232 times for Morton over two spells, making him equal fourth in the all-time list of Morton keepers. He was inducted into the Greenock Morton Hall of Fame in 2023. Morton boss Hal Stewart, described by one journalist as a 'circus ring
This true Cappielow hero has played more games for Morton than anybody else (opens the original)

It’s hard to believe that it’s almost 40 years since Derek Collins made his debut for Morton, in a Premier Division match against Motherwell at Cappielow in October 1987. Aged 18, he received plaudits for a calm, mature performance at right-back in a 1-1 draw. It was to be Morton’s last season in the top flight. For the next decade, Derek was almost ever-present for Morton, playing 40 matches, or more, virtually every season, mainly at right-back, occasionally as 'sweeper' or in midfield. Whilst
