Greenock Morton vs Stirling Albion preview - Crighton crocked for Albion's visit

Posted Friday, October 10, 2014 by PA

Morton defender Sean Crighton has been ruled out of his side's home match with Stirling Albion.

Crighton picked up a knee injury in last Saturday's defeat to Brechin.

Stefan Milojevic has returned to full fitness and will take Crighton's starting jersey, while striker Stefan McCluskey is back in manager Jim Duffy's plans after overcoming illness.

Duffy is looking for an improvement from his team, and said: "We missed early chances and then lost poor goals last Saturday and that led to our defeat. I am looking for a much more solid performance in this game against a resolute Stirling side that will make things very tight."

Stirling are without defender Craig Wedderburn, who is suspended after being sent off in the 2-0 defeat by Dunfermline last weekend.

The Forthbank men are also missing Craig Comrie (stomach muscle) and Phil Johnston (hamstring) as they look for their first win in six games.

Manager Greig McDonald said: "We can travel to Morton in good heart after a very good display against Dunfermline. We had a game plan that the players stuck to well until the difference in full-time fitness was seen just before the end.

"Morton will be well organised and hard working so we have to put in a similar display to take anything."
