Just about to go into the New Year Morton can look back with mixed feelings.

Currently lying 3rd in the First division although the points are so close a loss could see them drop to 8th.

Jamie Stevenson has gone from strength to strength and is now naturally attracting some big clubs.

McCallister has become an inspiration at left wing and new striker Davidson is settling in well.

However the defence seems to be static and leak too many goals. New legs due in but there is already an abundance of defenders in the club.

The financial situation worsens as the club sink further into debt. Many blame the board for allowing Price to have a 500k budget which they could ill afford.

Time will only tell whether this season will turn out brightly or not for the tons.

Andrew Price took the Morton faithful on a rollercoaster ride through the second half of the season. Starting at a unusually high 3rd place into the second half a few quality signings provided a little more stability at the back. This in turn let young starlets McAllister and Stevenson take off.

Possibly the highlight of the season was beating Abderdeen in the cup having drawn a closely fought battle away 3-3, the return fixture was eventually won in the dying seconds of extra time by Morton faithful Chris Templeman (4-3). Morton made a good account of themselves in the quarter finals against rangers but went out 2-0.

This seemed to be the springboard to launch Morton to top of the league with just 4 games to go. Unfortunately the team couldn't stay there loosing on the final day 1-0 to Clyde as Hamilton won 1-0 to go top by 1 point. Andrew Price was reported to be extremely gutted but can take alot from their performances.

He has managed to get the spiralling financial crisis under control by reworking some of the silly contracts that existed on his arrival (£1000 for an appearance....)

So the new season awaits but Price having proven his skills by nearly taking Morton to the heady heights of the premiership within 2 seasons may well be first choice for any premiership clubs that come calling.

The outstanding form of McAllister and Stevenson will once again likely bring the bigger clubs calling and who knows whether they will go or not.

One thing is for sure, whatever happens in the following season is likely to be defining for both club and manager.

CHAMPIONS OF DIVISION THREE

Raith bounced straight back up top Div 2. Raith held a good lead but a few poor results made it a nervous finish. With only 2 games to go Forfar were 1 point behind. A goal 4 minutes into injury time from Lombardo gAVE Raith a 2-1 victory. In the other game Forfar had led 3-1 with only a couple of minutes left but 2 late goals made the final score 3-3 and promotion was assured for Raith.
Raith will have to buy a couple of players to be able to compete in the higher league.
