Morton suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat at home to Partick Thistle in their Championship opener, with Ts’oanelo Lets’osa’s late winner sealing the points for the visitors. The result leaves Morton 8th in the table with 0 points after one game, already 3 points behind leaders Livingston.
How did Lets’osa’s goal decide the game?
The match looked set for a goalless draw until Aidan Fitzpatrick’s surging run down the left set up Lets’osa for the winner. The midfielder, who had earlier missed a clear chance, made amends by tapping in the rebound after Seb Drozd’s shot was blocked. The goal sparked wild celebrations from the Thistle fans behind the goal.
What does this mean for Morton’s season?
Morton’s stubborn defence kept them in the game for long periods, but they struggled to create clear chances. With 0 goals scored and 1 conceded so far, they will need to find more attacking threat in their next fixture against Stenhousemuir (away, 2027-01-09).
Lets’osa’s ambition to add goals to his game
The 22-year-old midfielder, who scored three times last season, is determined to improve his goal return. “I’m trying to build up on that,” he said. “I’m just trying to be able to shoot, get into positions to shoot, and just build my game up on the attacking side as well.”
What’s next for Morton?
After a disappointing start, Morton will look to bounce back when they travel to face 5th-placed Stenhousemuir. The match will be a chance to get their first points of the season and climb up the table.
