A New Start
Morton boss quits
Greenock Morton boss Allan Moore has sensationally quit the club after the new league format was approved and is ready to be launched at the start of the season. He was annoyed that the club would lose money because teams like Dundee and Ross County were no longer in the league and instead they would play teams like Forfar and Peterhead. The likely candidates for the Cappielow job are Mark McInally, Warren Hawke, Michael Houston and the Morton great Andy Ritchie.
Houston gets the job
Local lad Michael Houston has been allocated the job at Morton this morning. Despite being an outsider he has already had coaching experience as a Scottish National coach for Athletics and was a youth coach at Celtic. Houston (28), was once a midfielder playing for Greenock, Port Glasgow and Albion Rovers, but he has been injured for more than two years and hasn't recovered and has therefore retired early. He said that he was aiming to revoloutionise Morton's team and get the best out of the youth team.
Friendlies
We played 8 friendlies before we would start our new campaign in the newly-reformed SPL 2.

Best Friendly - 4-0 win against Crawley - Was a dominant win
Worst Friendly - 0-3 defeat to Tottenham - The fact that we were only 1-0 down at 80 minutes was disappointing.
Overall, I still didn't know my best team, but what I knew was that Stewart Kean will start in my team. He scored 7 goals in 7 friendlies and he looked to be my star performer in the upcoming matches.
Transfers
I noticed that the team was **** in the midfield so I needed to do better there, and I needed back up in most areas. I only sold one player, David McGregor.
