(INTRODUCTION) ~ Alright lads! Welcome to my new story with Greenock Morton where I will be attempting to "break the old firm stranglehold". With Rangers down in the third division and Celtics attention focused more on Europe, then there's never been a better time to attempt to break it, however that being said we need to get promoted first! Hope you guy's will enjoy this story as much as I will have playing it. Anyone unfamiliar with the side I've chosen, then don't worry - I've put some basic information below. Would like to give "Stone Cold" a lot of credit as it was his Aberdeen story which inspired this, which is why the layouts may look similar. Hope you don't mind.
Name - Greenock Morton
Nickname - The Ton
Stadium - Cappielow Park (11,612)
Season Ticket Holders - 1,200
Fierce Rivals - St Mirren
Summer Signings ~
Jackson Irvine (MC/DC) from Celtic - (Season Loan)
Robbie Thomson (GK)from Celtic - (Season Loan)
Nicky Low (ML) from Aberdeen - (Season Loan)
Richie Towell (DR/MR) - (Free Transfer)
We had no transfer budget to play with, so I had to work on loans and free transfers. Even though four signings, doesn't look a lot for a team that is hoping to challenge for the title, I am happy with what I've done. I didn't want to bring in players which wasn't needed and spent wages on players we really didn't need. We already had very capable players to get us up in my opinion, just needed a few extra more to give us that boost.
Friendlies ~
Mussleburgh Athletic 0 - 2 Morton
Ayr United 1 - 1 Morton
Morton 1 - 1 Dundee
Irvine Meadow 0 - 2 Morton
Morton 2 - 4 Middlesbrough
Our pre-season went pretty well as well, with a few good performances. Nothing really to complain about, sure we maybe should of beat Ayr and as a Kilmarnock fan myself, I would of loved to have beaten them. But that's just nit picking in my opinion as our performance was very good. We even put up a good showing against Middlesbrough and if we had taken more of our chances, then I'm sure we would of got at least a draw out of that game. All in all, we look ready for the new campaign to begin.
