Gingerjaggy's Preview Tonight we travel down the A9 to Greenock to face Morton at Cappielow. The match is one of five left in the campaign and the result could have serious ramifications at both ends of the table. For us, as Dundee don’t play tonight, anything but a win will put us under pressure as they will have a game in hand and be able to trim the lead down. For Morton they are 4 points clear of the relegation play off place but have played 3 more than Raith and a game more than Ayr before tonight’s encounter. So at each end, the three points are vital for different reasons. Another important game tonight is in Dingwall, where County and Queens battle it out to remain in contention. We will head down south on the back of that late dramatic victory over Raith, thanks to Richie Foran’s acrobatic strike. Hopefully we have realised that no game is easy as every team has an issue to settle, whether it is promotion or in Morton’s case desperately battling to avoid the drop to the 2nd division. After being 3-1 up at home the fans will expect that the boys go out and do the job, and not have to produce another late late show. I for one am probably not alone in that our hearts won’t take that again. Morton though will be the same as Raith in the fact that they may be struggling for points but must not be underestimated, or we may just trip up. They will be on a high after a picking up a point against one of our promotion rivals Queen of the South. Both teams will go into the game on a positive note and it looks to be a keenly contested game. Our record this season against tonight’s opponents has been a good one with us winning all our games so far. The first game at Cappielow ended in a comfortable 3-0 victory to us. We took the lead just on half time with Dani Sanchez the scorer and we followed that with two more goals in the second half from Foran and Proctor to round off an emphatic victory. Our first game in Inverness finished with another comfortable 3 points with a 4-1 victory. The game was remembered for a Rooney hat trick with the other scorer Bulvitis. Morton did score through Eric Paartalu, the only goal so far for Morton against us this season. Due to the weather being a touch inclement this winter, this game was postponed for a while so it meant our last meeting would also be in Inverness. This time though we struggled, with a Nick Ross goal being the difference in a very uninspiring game where Morton frustrated us and nearly took a draw. This game serves as a warning of how difficult tonight could be so the boys will have to take notice and perform in what could be a very big and slippery banana skin. Team News Caley Thistle are back to full strength as we welcome the return of the in form Russell Duncan. Saturday’s game showed how much we missed him, as Daniel Stratford was thrown to the lions. Russell’s drive and passion might have been the difference between winning comfortably, or allowing the lead to slip. No other team news available, which means Terry Butcher has again another fully fit squad to choose from. Morton are missing 2 players, Kevin McKinley and Jim McAlister. Defender McKinley has a knee injury while McAlister is out with a foot problem. On the plus side for Morton, the performance of loan striker David Witeveen at the weekend will have raised the Greenock sides hopes of retaining their first division status. He bagged an excellent hat-trick in the high scoring draw with Queen of the South GingerJaggie’s prediction Well Saturday was a nail biting game and was very exciting but I don’t want to see that again. Tonight I think will be the opposite from the weekend where it will be tight and if we can win by a single goal then it would be a brilliant result. After the turgid last encounter at TCS where we struggled to overcome a defensive Morton, the win was described by some as ugly. Another ugly win will do for me. Teams have struggled here like Queens at the weekend and Dundee only won 1-0 here so it won’t be easy but I’m going for a 1-0 ICT victory and to go 7 points clear. Mon the Caley Jags.
