Greenock Morton drew 2-2 with Queen's Park in a Scottish Championship fixture on Friday. The stalemate means both clubs remain in the relegation places with just one point from their first four games of the season.
A BBC report covered the match, which saw Morton fight back to earn a point. This result comes during a tough opening period for the Ton, who currently sit 9th in the Championship. Their record reads zero wins, one draw, and three defeats, leaving them nine points adrift of early pacesetters Stenhousemuir. They have scored only two league goals while conceding six, giving them a -4 goal difference.
What has Morton's early season form been like?
The draw with Queen's Park interrupted a run of poor results. Dougie Imrie's side began their league campaign with a 1-1 draw against Ayr United but then lost three on the bounce. They were defeated 2-1 by Arbroath, 1-0 by Partick Thistle, and 2-0 by Stenhousemuir. They also exited the League Cup with a 1-0 loss to Inverness Caledonian Thistle. This difficult start has placed them near the foot of the table, a position supporters can examine in detail on the league standings page.
How have recent games against Queen's Park gone?
Friday's draw finally brought an end to a miserable run against Queen's Park. Morton had lost three consecutive matches to their Glasgow rivals before the April 2026 stalemate. The sequence included a 2-1 loss in December 2025 and a 3-2 defeat in February 2026. Securing a point this time, albeit from a losing position twice, represents a small step forward. The club will hope key players from the current squad can use this as a springboard.
What is the significance of this result for the table?
While stopping the rot against a specific opponent, the draw does not significantly improve Morton's league position. Both they and Queen's Park are stuck on one point, with only goal difference separating them in 9th and 10th place. The immediate focus must shift to converting these hard-fought points into victories. The upcoming schedule, available on the club's fixtures list, presents that opportunity. Improving a defensive record that has seen them concede an average of 1.5 goals per game is essential for any climb up the table.
Queen's Park have had similar struggles, with wins hard to come by. Their season includes losses to Stenhousemuir (twice), Raith Rovers, and Livingston, balanced by a win over Queen of the South and a draw with Partick Thistle.

Morton's attention now turns to preparing for their next Championship encounter at home to Airdrieonians on September 11th.
