Lamie back for Morton

Morton host bottom-of-the-table Stirling Albion and the Greenock side have Ricki Lamie free from suspension.

Joe McKee and Declan McManus are also expected to feature despite being involved in a car crash at the weekend.

Cappielow boss Jim Duffy is warning his players that they will face determined opponents.

He said: "Stirling will be determined to show that they want to stay in this division and they will fight for every ball.

"Having won up at Peterhead on Saturday to add to a good run of results some people have the expectation that we will win.

"The players need to be able to handle that expectation."

Stirling who are eight points adrift at the foot of the table hope to have former Morton defender Chris Smith back in their ranks after he missed Saturday's 4-1 defeat to Airdrie due to illness.

Lewis Coult is doubtful after picking up a knock against the Diamonds, with stomach muscle injuries keeping Steven Doris and Graham Weir out.

Assistant manager Martyn Corrigan said: "We were leading at Airdrie but some individual mistakes killed us and we really need to cut them out of our game.

"We cannot fault the players for their effort but they need to keep their concentration fully as Morton will punish us for any slip-ups.
