Greenock Morton 2, Partick Thistle 1: Full-Time Championship Result
With a dramatic flourish, Cameron Blues delivered a stoppage-time winner that propelled Greenock Morton to a remarkable victory over promotion contenders Partick Thistle in the escalating drama of the Scottish Championship.
Blues’ close-range header, expertly assisted by Michael Garrity’s pinpoint cross, marked the midfielder’s remarkable third goal in just four appearances. This vital strike not only elevates Morton to seventh place, shifting them past Hamilton Academical, but also places them a commendable seven points above Dunfermline Athletic, who find themselves perilously positioned in the relegation play-off zone.
Earlier in the encounter, the on-loan Motherwell forward Filip Stuparevic ignited Morton’s hopes with a well-timed finish just nine minutes into the second half, courtesy of a clever through ball from Owen Moffat.
But the visiting side was quick to respond; Aidan Fitzpatrick found the net shortly after with a precise low drive from a Logan Chalmers cross, which temporarily quieted the Morton fans. Yet, the home side battled back to secure a thrilling winner, marking their fifth consecutive match without defeat.
The result leaves Partick Thistle in a precarious fourth place, now three points adrift of Ayr United while remaining a comfortable seven points clear of Queen’s Park.
