Almost right CB.

It is Rangers from 1992/93 and the other 3 are the only other clubs we have not played this century but we did play Dunfermline in the League Cup in both 1995/96 & 1996/97.

Because we yo-yo'd up and down three leagues for 8 years on the trot I suspect we have played more other teams in a competitive fixture in the last ten years than anyone else.

Certainly in terms of meetings since the 90's we've played more than you. Not sure how many of yours drop out if you come right up to August 2001 (10 years ago) though? Can't be any better than us even if none do though. We've played 35 opponents competitively in 10 years (though it will be 34 once we reach 11th September as we won't be facing East Stirling again before then).

For Morton in competitive games...

2011-12 Livingston, Forfar, Ross County, Alloa, Stranraer.

2010-11 Stirling, Dunfermline, Partick, Dundee, Queen of the South, Falkirk, Cowdenbeath, Raith Rovers, Inverness, Airdrie United, Dumbarton, St. Johnstone.

2009-10 Ayr United, Celtic, Kilmarnock.

2008-09 Clyde, Peterhead, Hibernian, East Stirling.

2007-08 Hamilton, Gretna.

2006-07 Brechin, Motherwell, Annan.

2005-06 St. Mirren.

2004-05 Berwick, Arbroath.

2003-04 Stenhousemuir, East Fife, Dundee United.

2002-03 Elgin City, Albion Rovers, Montrose, Queen's Park.

2001-02 Clydebank, Airdrieonians.

1999-00 Rangers.

1996-97 Aberdeen.

1994-95 Meadowbank.

1987-88 Hearts.

Rather than Stranraer, given that Morton have been down to the Third Division and had better cup runs, I'd argue we've probably played more of the league than any other club in the last 10 years.

Did they not stuff you in a preseason friendly fairly recently?

edit: Maybe not stuffed but they did beat you 3-2 on 22nd July 2009. You must have met in the 'shire cup as well surely?

Yeah 4-0 in 2008 http://sport.scotsma...bled.4305164.jp

We have never ever played Annan Athletic!!!

About time we played Celtic again get them up the table a bit, preferably at their midden as I have never seen us play there, also a bit surprised at hibs low placing I really felt we had played them more recently than that, but we have payed them so often in friendlies I'm probably just confused!!!

Did ICT not play Berwick in one of the cups at the start of the 09/10 season? Pretty sure we did.

Nope, checked Challenge Cup and League Cup, didn't play you.

Soccerbase says 2002-03 Challenge Cup.

I'd guess Hamilton would have achieved similar having been in every league in the past 10 years, and Morton would have done similar to Stranraer. Patrick Thistle have spread across three different leagues too.

It be interesting to compare to see if any of those three have had any long term non-matchups, and see if they are similar to Stranraer. I see a Morton fan has already done this for their team

Can't think of any other team that has spanned across the leagues...perhaps Alloa and Arbroath? I remember they've had one or two seasons in the First Division alongside being in the 2nd/3rd. Maybe even Cowdenbeath too.

Livingston played in all 4 leagues within 5 seasons, so they must be close to having played everyone recently. (albeit they might have missed a team or 2 who were being promoted/relegated at the same time as they were).

Aye, same game.

It was actually Windass that scored four in extra time after Billy Dodds had scored a hat trick in normal time. They were 2-0 up with about 15 mins to go before we scored 3 quick goals through Derek Lilley (2) and John Anderson. Dodds then tripped over a blade of grass and won a last minute penalty and the rest is history I'm afraid .

[GordieBoy80]

Our cup tie at Annan a couple of weeks ago means that we've played every single member of the SPL and SFL competitively, and the team that we've not played in the longest period of time is Elgin City(29/01/83) when we played them in the 2nd Round of the Scottish Cup.

Belated thanks for replying! Morton were desperately unlucky that night.

1922/23 - Forfar, Peterhead

Never Played - Ross County, Annan

Having a look back it does seem a long time since we've played quite a few teams.

While checking these back we do seem to have a knack of drawing the same teams in the cups. In the last 5/6 years we've managed to play Berwick, Dunfermline, East Fife, Falkirk, Dundee, Alloa and Raith at least twice!

The Forfar one is extraordinary - but then considering they always appear to mysteriously draw Rangers in cup competitions whenever they get far enough in these knockout contests to draw a Premier side perhaps not so much!

Think that is everyone- ones in bold have played us at Greenhill Road but seems we have played just about everyone fairly recently given we've spent time in SPL and D1. Livi were the surprising ones but we got relegated from the SPL as they were promoted and then they got relegated the year we go promoted-only played them in one season so 4 times! Albion Rovers is really the longest of the established league teams.

Cheers for updating the list GS. Now its Peterhead who we have gone the longest time since our last competitive meeting. 10th Feb 1923 (as opposed to 13th Jan 1923 for Forfar) was our last game with them - is that the longest gap in Scotland. Close to 89 years?

Now we just need Peterhead to beat Celtic and we can play them in the next round
