Match Preview

Morton wait for Weatherson Morton striker Peter Weatherson is a doubt to face Dundee. The forward is carrying a back problem but is the only doubt for the Greenock men with on-loan Celtic youngster Sean Fitzharris included in manager Allan Moore's plans for the last time before returning to Parkhead. Moore has told his Cappielow players to go out and win the three points from their encounter as a reward to groundsman Mark Farrell for the work he has put in to get the game going ahead. Moore said: "Mark has put a huge effort in to make the pitch playable and apart from a very slight layering of frost it is like a bowling green. "It would be good if the boys go out and earn him the three points as a reward." Dundee's interim manager Barry Smith will look to make it six games in a row without defeat under his stewardship. Smith has injury concerns over one unnamed player and no clues were being given out to his identity with the Dens Park men keen to get playing again after defeating Ross County 3-0 on their last outing. Smith said, "We would have loved a game straight after winning at County but we have just had to get on with things as the bad weather kicked in. We have had bounce games to keep things ticking over. "Morton will be well organised and full of energy and we have to match that."

Match Report

Lockwood spot on for Dundee Matt Lockwood's 65th minute penalty snatched Dundee a welcome 1-0 win over struggling Morton. Morton, who were ninth prior to kick-off, matched a Dark Blues side which is currently pushing for promotion in the First Division in the first half. Brian Graham went close just before the break, but his close-range header was tipped over by the acrobatic Rab Douglas in the Dundee net. The second half began in similar fashion with Morton seeking a goal to lift the home support. It failed to materialise and the tide soon changed. Stephen O'Donnell was brought down in the box and Lockwood stepped up and slotted home with ease. Dundee pushed for a second to kill the game, but Stewart Kean's clean finish was frustratingly ruled out by the linesman's flag. In the end it did not matter as Dundee held on for three vital points which moved them into third spot.
