Derek Collins, captain, is a true professional who wears his heart on his sleeve for Morton. Returning to Morton as part of Peter Cormacks hastily built team in season 2001/02 after a short spell at Hibs, Derek is the longest serving player currently at the club having been with us since the 1980s.

During this spell Derek has enjoyed the ups and downs that the supporters have from the highs of the Premier league to the lows of recent years. It is easy to say without overstatement, that Dereks continued enthusiasm, leadership and love for this club have helped it get back on track starting with ourThird Division triumph.

An ever present in the team he gives his all every game for the Ton and commands respect and effort from his players who are only too willing to give it to a true leader and gentleman.
