MORTON play-off hero Robbie Muirhead has hailed the wonder goal that topped off his end of season purple patch. The 25-year-old netted three goals in the last four matches to clinch Championship survival for the Cappielow club. The former Killie and Hearts kid admits that the current crop of players have underachieved this season but says he is glad to have got the job done in the end. He told the Tele: “From a personal point of view, I really hope I’m now beginning to turn a corner. If I am being brutally honest, I have been stuck in a rut for three years now and my confidence has been at an all-time low, but after the last few weeks I now know I can still do it.
MORTON will face Airdrie in the play-off final after a dramatic last gasp moment of magic from Craig McGuffie saw them edge out Montrose at Cappielow tonight. Ton went into the game 2-1 down from the first leg and stormed out of the traps into an early two goal lead, only for the Angus men to pull one back and ultimately force extra time. It looked like the match was heading to penalties when an outrageous piece of skill from McGuffie settled things right at the death. Gus MacPherson sprang a few surprises as he rang the changes with his line-up, bringing in Chris Millar at right back as one of four alterations from Saturday s defeat at Links Park. Cameron Salkeld also came in from the cold to start up front.
