Anybody know if these 2 games had programmes?

1 Oct 1969     Morton v Dallas Tornado

13 Nov 1972     Morton v Zenit Leningrad
(aka Zenit St Petersburg)

 

Photo of the Zenit programme on Facebook page 'Greenock Morton old photos', so there should still be a few kicking about. Not sure about the Dallas Tornado match

How is Jamie Brandon doing for you guys?  Can't see a future for him at Hearts, but hoping he can do well for himself after another bad injury.

He's clearly too good for this division. The injuries have finished his chances of being good enough for a side aiming to consolidate themselves as the third best team in the country, but he'd improve more than a couple of top flight sides. Would love to keep him but at the very worst I'd expect he'll be getting offers from the highest spenders in this division for next season.

Cheers, glad to hear he's doing well. He's never really had the luxury of an injury free run in our team,  good luck to him.

Yes I would like to keep him but likely to be outside the team salary structure.

If there was enough money form an improved league placing, maybe worth a punt on Strapp.

Expect loan market to be where we will operate, again a better league placing will increase quality of loanees.

This page lists the Dallas tour games, with pics of programmes. No pic for the Morton game which may suggest there wasn't one.

Aberdeen rumoured to be keen on Oisin McAtee - Morton fans what kind of player is he? How would he handle playing in the Premiership?

Never heard o the Player you have mentioned must be a different spelling from the one on loan from Newcastle...

McEntee is our best centre back by a distance and should have a big future.

Already good enough for a bottom six top flight side? Probably. He's certainly a better player than some of the centre backs up there anyway.

Already good enough for a side presumably aiming to compete for third and comfortably make the top six next season though? I don't think so.

An absolutely massive upgrade on David Bates? Definitely.
