Morton 0 - 0 Falkirk: Falkirk relying on Ross County collapse
No doubt looking to consign their 6-0 cup shellacking at the hands of Motherwell last weekend to the dustbin of history, it was Morton who had the better of a first half all too often bogged down in a midfield battle with Archie Campbell passing up three very presentable chances, including a one-on-one with Bairns keeper Michael McGovern.
Minutes after the restart the home team were again guilty of cheaply tossing away opportunities, this time from the spot after Tam Scobie was harshly adjudged to have deliberately handled Fouad Bachirou’s drive. However, if the decision was soft then the kick from Peter MacDonald was positively feeble as McGovern made a comfortable save low to his left.
