Morton v Queen's Park - Match Preview
QUEEN’S PARK are on live television for the second week on the bounce when they take the M8 west to Greenock.
It’s a return to familiar territory for Greenock-born Sean Crighton and former Morton boss Jim Duffy when the sides meet at Cappielow on Friday night.
Opposite them is an unfamiliar face however.
Billy Davies will be in the dugout for the home side having taking the reigns since Dougie Imrie’s exit to Raith Rovers.
The former Premier League manager has plenty of coaching experience, though usually takes a berth in the stand for matches.
He’ll be on the touchline on Friday however, as he pits his side against Sean Crighton’s Spiders.
Looking ahead
Sean Crighton’s head coach previews are sponsored by Glasgow Clyde College.
The head coach, and assistant Jim Duffy, are sponsored by PTS Clean this season.
This week’s player preview interview is sponsored by JJK Automotive Assessors.

The Season so far...
It’s all change down Cappielow way in the past few weeks following Dougie Imrie’s move to Raith Rovers.
The Ton boss moved from the Clyde coast to the east coast last month, leaving Technical Coach Billy Davies in charge while the search goes on for a permanent successor.
A new man will be looking to turn draw into victories in Inverclyde with Morton racking up nine ties from 16 games.
That’s contributed to 18 points registered, five points more than Queen’s Park who have a game in hand, and just the seven points to their name.
The last meeting was, predictably, a draw at The city Stadium too.
Although Cappielow is a tricky trip the Spiders have registered an away win there as recently as last season.
The team broke the live TV hoodoo too last week in Linlithgow and a return to the small screen on BBC Scotland beckons for more Friday night football.
However they’ll do it without Josh Fowler – suspended after totting up six yellow cards.
