Greenock Morton's quest for a first league victory of the season continues with a trip to face Queen's Park at The City Stadium in Glasgow. The William Hill Championship fixture, reported by Queen's Park Football Club, kicked off at 3:00 pm on Saturday, September 5, 2026, with Morton looking to improve on a difficult start that has left them ninth in the table with just one point from four games.
Morton arrived in Glasgow having also secured their first point of the campaign with a draw the previous weekend. Their early season form reads zero wins, one draw, and three losses, with a recent run of defeats. They have scored only two goals while conceding six, giving them a goal difference of minus four. That leaves them a significant twelve points behind early leaders Stenhousemuir in the title race.
What was the team news for the match?
Queen's Park manager Sean Crighton had to plan without injured duo Matthew Shiels and Magnus Mackenzie. There was better news on Callum Smith's fitness, while Scott Martin was available again after recovering from a fractured toe. Morton's lineup and any injury concerns were not detailed in the Queen's Park report. The match officials were led by referee Grant Irvine.
What matchday facilities were available for fans?
Supporters with valid tickets could access Bar 1867 both before and after the match. Doors at the stadium opened at 12:30 pm. For those driving, parking was available in the Blue car park next to the home turnstiles. Additional spaces were on offer in the red and yellow car parks at the nearby Barclays Hampden, accessible from Aikenhead Road.
