CAPTAIN’S VIEW —
The team was extremely disappointed and frustrated with the outcome of last Saturday’s match. Too many times this season we have gifted the opposition goals, and collectively, we need to cut those mistakes out of our game in order to start putting more points on the board.
It has in some ways been the story of our season so far. We started the game very well, and took the lead through a well worked goal. As expected, Morton came at us in the second half, and for the majority of the period, we dealt with their press well. But in the Championship, you must be on your game for the full 90 minutes, otherwise you will be punished, and unfortunately, we were.

It was always going to be a hard game. Morton have been solid so far this season at Cappielow, they have turned it in to a bit of a fortress. But to be leading in the game with 10 or so minutes to play and not come away with anything is very disappointing.
We know we are in for another tough game this afternoon. However, we go into it with plenty of belief that we can take points off the Dark Blues.
We have already proven we have what it takes to compete with the teams at the top end of the table this season. We of course had that memorable night against Dundee back in October, beating them 3-1, in which Connor Scully scored two worldclass goals! As well as that, we did well for the first 45 minutes at Dens a few weeks ago, which we must look to build on this afternoon.
Every single game between now and the end of the season is huge for us. We have been working hard in training this week in preparation for this game, and we are determined to go into the final quarter of the season with a win under our belts. It is also important in order to pick up momentum going into the final few weeks of the season.
You, the supporters, also have a big part to play this afternoon. It was good to see so many of you come along and show your support for the team in our last home match against Arbroath. Your backing really helps to spur the team on, and it would be great to have an atmosphere like that again this afternoon.
COYCR!
