Morton aim to extend their winning run to four matches when they host Stenhousemuir at Cappielow Park this Saturday. The Scottish Championship fixture kicks off at 3pm local time as part of the regular season's 14th round.
That sequence includes a dramatic 3-2 comeback victory away to Partick Thistle last weekend. Their recent results show a clear upturn, with wins over Queen's Park and Arbroath preceding the triumph at Firhill.
Recent form
Morton's last four results illustrate their improved consistency. After a 2-1 loss to Raith Rovers at the start of October, they secured a 2-1 win at Arbroath. A 2-0 home victory over Queen's Park followed, before last Saturday's 3-2 success against Partick. Sandilands scored twice in that match, including a 68th-minute winner, while Garrity also found the net. This three-game winning run is part of a recent form of three wins and two losses from their last five matches. The victories were against Arbroath, Queen's Park, and Partick, with the losses coming against Raith Rovers and Inverness CT.
Stenhousemuir arrive with a different recent record. They have taken one point from their last three games, drawing with Raith Rovers before defeats to Partick and Dunfermline. The Warriors currently occupy fourth place in the division.
Head-to-head
The visitors won the last meeting between the sides 2-0 back in August. That result at Ochilview Park will give Stenhousemuir confidence, but Morton will be determined to set the record straight in front of their own supporters.
Team news
Morton are expected to field a similar lineup to the one that started against Partick. That team included goalkeeper Harrison, defenders Ballantyne and Longridge, and midfielders Gillespie and Wilson. Forward Okike led the line, supported by the creative talents of Sandilands and Garrity.
The club has scored 12 goals this season but conceded 20, giving them a goal difference of minus eight. The full squad list is available for supporters to check ahead of the match.
Saturday's contest offers Morton a chance to continue their climb away from the lower reaches of the table. A victory would see them close the gap on the teams above them and build significant momentum ahead of the next round of fixtures.
