Kick-off 3pm
Supporter Information
Ahead of Saturday’s match, we have been advised by Inverness CT of possible inconveniences to Morton fans as they make their way to the stadium on the day.
In a similar situation to our last trip to Inverness, we have been advised that parking tickets will most likely be handed out to anyone who parks on Stadium Road near the ground. It is therefore suggested that fans look to situate their vehicle elsewhere if travelling by car.
It is also beneficial for Morton fans to purchase tickets in advance of arriving at the stadium as ticket prices will increase from 12pm onwards tomorrow afternoon.
Scene Setter
It’s a trip to the Highlands tomorrow afternoon as the Ton look to get back to winning ways against Inverness and return to form following a winless start to 2023.
The Ton come into this match having lost the first three league games of 2023 but will make the trip to Inverness confident of a result having won the last two outings at the Caledonian Stadium. Morton sit just one point behind tomorrow’s opponents and remain just three points away from the playoffs with a game in hand.
Billy Dodds’ Inverness have won two of their last five matches and come into this match on the back of defeat to Queen’s Park in the Scottish Cup (this result has since been overturned). Last time out between these sides saw the Ton pick up a 4-0 win at home in front of the BBC Scotland cameras with goals coming from Robbie Muirhead, Grant Gillespie, Cameron Blues and an own goal from David Carson.
