Morton aim to build on their recent momentum when they host Ayr United in the Scottish Championship this Saturday. The match at Cappielow Park offers the chance for a third consecutive victory after back-to-back wins lifted the side to 9th in the table with seven points from 11 games.
That followed a 2-1 away victory at Arbroath the previous weekend. The two wins have provided a much-needed boost, though Morton remain 16 points adrift of leaders Stenhousemuir.
Ayr United arrive in Greenock sitting 7th in the standings and with mixed recent results. Their last outing was a 1-0 home defeat to Partick Thistle. The last meeting between these sides ended in a 1-1 draw at Somerset Park in late August.
