Recent Players and Managers
 

Steven Aitken (1/8/96 to 28/6/01  2003?)
Steven was at Morton as a youngster and his hard tackling and tenacity in midfield saw him work his way up to a regular in the first team.
He is a player who 'gets stuck in' and never shirks from a tackle.
At one point he was the longest serving player at Cappielow but left during the administration period to join Stranraer.
Many feel he commanded the game for Stranraer against the Ton in a cup game earlier in the season.
It is rumoured at the time of writing that Steven may be on his way back to the Ton.

 

Harry Curran (13/3/98 to 1/7/01)

Harry was a player who brought a lot of experience to Cappielow having played with St Johnstone and Dunfermline for many years. He was signed by Billy Stark.
His experience showed and his effort was unquestioned and he quickly became a favourite of the fans.

Harry is currently at Stranraer but didnt feature in the cup game earlier in the season.

 


Derek Lilley (13/8/91 to 27/3/97)
Derek was one of the best forwards to have played at Morton in recent years. A big, powerful player he scored 70 goals for Morton in competitive fixtures. This included the 94/95 second division winning season which saw him that leagues top scorer that year.

He moved from the Ton for a fee around the £500,000 mark to Leeds United in March 97 but didnt really make the breakthough he would have hoped with only 4 first team starts. After loan spells at Hearts and Bury he found himself at Oxford. He returned to Scotland in December 2000 to join Dundee United but is rumoured to be on the move again.

 

David Wylie ()

Davie "The Cat" Wylie was another favourite at Cappielow as the resident goalkeeper for most of the late 80s and 90s. An everpresent he was a fine agile shot stopper who instilled confidence in the team.

Throughout his time at cappielow he played in teams with players such as Rowan Alexander, Derek McInnes and Janne Lindberg and enjoyed success as the second division champions in 94/95 as well as the near miss of the following year where he was replaced by Andre Boe, who let in 8 goals in 2 games , the Ton losing out on goal difference that year- but thats a different story!

He left for Clyde after being replaced by Ally Maxwell and was on the end of a 6-1 defeat on a return to Cappielow to face Morton in a cup game. Today he has joined Rowan Alexander as goalkeeping coach at Gretna.
