Greenock Morton vs Raith Rovers preview - More woe for Morton
Posted Saturday, May 05, 2012 by PA
The injury problems that have dogged Morton all season continue this week, with five players ruled out for the visit of Raith.
Stuart McCaffrey, Thomas O'Ware, Darren McGeough, Iain Flannigan and Andy Jackson are the players ruled out because of knocks.
To add to manager Allan Moore's worries, David O'Brien and Peter Weatherson both need to pass fitness tests to play.
Moore said: "Injuries killed our season but the team I send out will be looking to end things on a high. We want to get the win to ensure that Raith do not jump above us in the table.
"We will need to be on our guard as they will be coming here buoyant after two wins in a row."
Raith will be without defender Laurie Ellis following his recent jaw fracture, as they look to finish their season with the win that will move them above their hosts.
Everyone else in the Kirkcaldy squad is available to manager John McGlynn, who is looking forward to playing without the fear of being involved in relegation trouble for the first time this season.
McGlynn said: "It has been a hard season but thankfully our two recent wins means that we can go to Cappielow and enjoy the game that bit more.
"There is a game to be won and we want the three points to finish above Morton but that is a much more positive feeling than going there looking for a win to avoid being in the play-offs."
