ALLAN MOORE has agreed terms on a new one-year contract as Morton manager after weeks of uncertainty caused by chairman Douglas Rae's comments about moving the club to a part-time basis due to decreasing attendances.
PETER Macdonald's hat-trick saw Morton close the gap at the top of the table to two points from Partick Thistle, with the two clubs meeting in a potential mouth-watering title decider on Wednesday night at Firhill.
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.
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.
Cappielow might have all the old-world atmosphere that football traditionalists cherish, but in scenic terms the best you could say is that it is a good place to grind out an ugly win.
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.
ALLAN MOORE has missed the last two days training due to illness and was laid low enough by the virus yesterday to be unable to pick up his Irn-Bru first division manager of the month award for December in person.
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.
Morton's failure to again secure three points from a match they were expected to win cost them their place at the summit of the First Division after they could earn only a draw against third-bottom Cowdenbeath.
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.
