THE snaking queues were so long they put the kick-off back 15 minutes just to squeeze everyone into the ground.

MORTON yesterday lodged plans for a £750,000 upgrade of Cappielow to meet Scottish Premier League standards should they gain promotion to the top flight at the end of the season.

MORTON demonstrated admirable character in overturning a two-goal deficit to post this 4-2 victory over Cowdenbeath.

THE Irn-Bru First Division title race promises to be a fight to the finish.

TWELVE years' service in two spells as a player with Partick Thistle means Alan Archibald is already regarded as a Firhill legend by the club's supporters.

IF bottling up your emotions is unhealthy, expressing yourself is perhaps the best way to alleviate pressure.

When your chairman steps on to the pitch to introduce your new star signing, and then manages to get the fellow's name wrong, you probably know that you are in for an unsettling afternoon.

THE musical chairs at the top of the Irn-Bru First Division show no signs of relenting.

Kevin Rutkiewicz wasted little time in setting the record straight as he considered Morton's capacity to win the Irn-Bru First Division title this season, despite faltering in their last two matches.

To tinker with the lyrics of that traditional Scottish song; Dumbarton's run had not been so bonnie.

SOMETHING had to give.

A late equaliser from veteran striker Martin Hardie gave Morton a valuable point from a six-goal thriller to bolster their promotion aspirations.

LEADING the Irn-Bru First Division at this stage of the season is about as useful as having your nose in front after three fences of the Grand National.

SOME habits are harder to shake than others.
