For the second successive weekend, a high-stakes encounter in Angus wreaked damage on Morton’s prospects of avoiding relegation from the SPFL Championship. Having failed to get the win away to Arbroath a week past Friday that would have lifted them out of second-bottom spot and kept them in the second tier for another year, Gus MacPherson’s side found yet more woe yesterday as they ventured a further 13 miles up the north-east coast to Montrose for their play-off semi-final first leg.
