Morton 1 - 0 Aberdeen

HT Score: Morton 1 - 0 Aberdeen

Scottish Reserve League
Morton scorers: McGarrity

20/03/1948 | KO:

McLaughlin Made Fine Forward

THE curious feature of the Reserve League game at Greenock, in which Morton beat Aberdeen 1-0, was that both teams were at their best when battling against strong breeze.
Aberdeen failed completely to make any use of the wind advantage in the first half.
A different story was told after the interval. The Aberdeen forwards were then seen at their best, and on play should have least shared the points.
Biggest factor contributing to the improved forward play was McLaughlin's work at inside right when he changed places with Stenhouse.
He put new life into the attack, and his subtle passing should have produced results.
McGarrity scored Morton's only goal in the fourteenth minute of the first half, and Gibson, shortly afterwards, missed from a penalty.
