It is hoped that this direct link for the children to the professional players will act as an inspiration for young male and female players to pursue an active involvement in the sport throughout their lives. http://morton.nsdesign4.net/News/ I was most concerned reading last night’s article in the Greenock Telegraph that I felt duty bound to clarify the situation surrounding Jim McColl’s resignation from the Board.Jim advised me recently that after seven years as a Morton Director he felt that he should be spending more time with his family and as a result wished to tender his resignation at the AGM in December. He asked that this should remain confidential which I duly agreed to. However, at the end of last week I received a call from the Greenock Telegraph requesting clarification as they had heard about Jim’s resignation and unconfirmed reports that a reappointed from the Trust was unlikely. I advised that the matter would be getting discussed at the next Board Meeting as we were considering making a change.Greenock Morton was one of the first Clubs to have a Supporters Representative on the Board which we felt was an extremely positive step forward considering the previous tensions between Club and Supporters. This view has not changed!While Jim’s involvement has been a great success, it has only been a link to Supporters who were members of the Supporters Trust! As there are many Morton supporters who are not members of the Trust, we feel that consideration should be given to perhaps widening this representation which will be discussed in greater detail at the next Board Meeting.Douglas RaeChairman. http://morton.nsdesign4.net/News/&action=fullnews&id=89 http://morton.nsdesign4.net/News/&action=fullnews&id=88 The Jackpot creeps ever higher...! http://morton.nsdesign4.net/News/&action=fullnews&id=87 .The draw for the third round of the Scottish Cup was made today at Hampden, with Morton now facing the long journey to play Peterhead at Balmoor. http://morton.nsdesign4.net/News/&action=fullnews&id=86 Morton picked up the 3 points from todays match against Dundee at Cappielow.Goals from Weatherson (27 mins) and a Ryan McGuffie penalty in 59 minutes secured the win. http://morton.nsdesign4.net/News/&action=fullnews&id=85 PITCH UPDATE: 1.20pm http://morton.nsdesign4.net/News/ Morton welcome Dundee to Cappielow for this weekends Irn Bru SFL 1st Division match. Dundee, currently 8th in the table and 5 points ahead of Morton, parted company with Manager Alex Rae at the start of the week, and it is likely that caretaker boss Davie Farrell will be in charge tomorrow. Alex Walker is the only name on Morton's injury list, still struggling with a hamstring problem leaving him unable to train. Manager David Irons said "This League is so tight that we could be eight points off the top if we win on Saturday. I'm not saying we can win the League, but it just shows how tight this Division is. Every team will have a bad spell, and hopefully that's ours over and we can kick on." http://morton.nsdesign4.net/News/&action=fullnews&id=83 Please note that the winning Lotto numbers for this week
