Greenock Morton Football Club are a football club, who currently play in the Bell's Scottish Football League Second Division. The club was founded in 1874, making it among the most venerable of senior Scottish clubs.
Greenock Morton Football Club are popularly known as Morton F.C. - a tradition which predates the club's renaming in 1994 to celebrate the links with its home town of Greenock. The club has a traditional local rivalry with St. Mirren, from Paisley, albeit this is one of convenience for the creation of a crowd inticing "derby" - St Mirren's original derby rivals were fellow Paisley senior side Abercorn FC, who went bankrupt in the 1920s, whilst Morton's were Port Glasgow Athletic F.C., who ceased running a senior team in the Scottish League in 1912 and have concentrated on the Scottish Junior League ever since (see Port Glasgow Juniors F.C.) - they even shared Morton's Cappielow ground from 1917 until 1921 when the needs of World War One saw their ground compulsorily purchased for housing for the local shipyards.
History
The club hit a terrible period of financial distress in 2001. This culminated in the team being relegated from the First Division at the end of the 2000-01 season after a 6-year stay. The club's financial worries continued to affect its progress on-the-field, as the team struggled to adapt to life in the Second Division. A 4-0 defeat at Queen of the South on April 27, 2002 confirmed back-to-back relegations for Morton. More on [ Greenock Morton F.C. ]
