Morton Valuable point

-

Fourth faced sixth at East End Park on Tuesday in a closely-fought encounter between two sides hoping for a play-off place come May.

Gary Oliver converted a Michael Doyle cross to net his first goal of the season, securing the ’Ton a valuable point after falling behind.

Jim Duffy surprised many by fielding three centre-backs alongside both regular full-backs for this one.

In new-look style, Morton operated a 3-5-2 formation, with both Mark Russell and Doyle deployed as wing-backs.

Despite one or two ropey moments under the new system, though, it was a positive return to league business for Morton, who are still without some key first-team players.
