Morton claimed their first win of the Championship season as a Thomas O’Ware goal was enough to seal three points away to Alloa.
Jim Duffy’s men dominated the match and should have won by a more comfortable margin. The all-important goal eventually came though after 72 minutes, as Rickie Lamie’s free-kick was met by O’Ware, who looped his header over David Crawford and into the net.
Duffy revealed he is still hopeful of adding to his squad.
“Will anything happen before the window shuts? I don’t know,” he said.
“We have made enquiries and asked the question. Sometimes you almost know the answer before you pick up the phone, but now and again you get a wee surprise.
“So you have to ask the question and see whether the player is available and whether the other variables fit in: if the player wants to come, if the budget is right, if the timing is right.”
On Friday night, Falkirk maintained their impressive start to the season with a 2-1 home win over Dumbarton.
Ian Alston got the opener for Peter Houston’s side with just 5 minutes on the clock, and an emphatic win looked on the cards when Craig Sibbald doubled the lead just 9 minutes later.
Dumbarton hit back though through Darren Barr before half-time, but Stevie Aitken’s men couldn’t find the equaliser.
“We got ourselves in a really good position going two goals up,” Falkirk manager Houston said.
“Their goal certainly spooked us though, and it was a bad goal to lose.
“We’ll play better and lose, but we managed to dig it out.”
