History stands in one’s eyeline at Cappielow. History is in your seat. History is on the park.
Immediate observations on the 150th anniversary of Morton can be stated simply. The crane that nods to the town’s shipbuilding past still peers over the ground. My seat is in the Allan McGraw stand, a tribute to Mr Morton.
And, on the park, two lads who played in a European final embrace at full time. Steve Whittaker, assistant manager at Ayr, and Kirk Broadfoot, central defender at Morton, were in the Rangers side that lost the 2008 UEFA Cup Final.
