Stewart to continue in goal

Posted Tuesday, March 30, 2010 by PA

Colin Stewart will continue in the Morton goal when they welcome Ayr.

Regular stopper Kevin Cuthbert is banned so Stewart will carry on deputising after his first-half introduction at the weekend, while Peter Weatherson is doubtful with a hernia problem.

On-loan Hearts striker David Witteveen will be hoping to make a bigger contribution than he did on his debut at the weekend when he was the player sacrificed after only 15 minutes to allow substitute goalkeeper Stewart to come on for the red-carded Cuthbert.

Boss James Grady said: "We played well down at Ayr at the beginning of the month but failed to take our chances and ended up losing. We will be well up for this game and looking for the points to create a gap on Ayr again."

Ayr will have Dean Keenan available.

The midfielder is back in contention after completing a suspension, but Rocky Visconte, Willie Easton and Danny McKay are again unavailable due to injury.

Ayr have gone eight games without defeat to give themselves real hope of avoiding the relegation play-offs, but manager Brian Reid was disappointed to be sitting below rivals Raith following the 1-1 draw against their Greenock rivals last time out.

Reid said: "We should have won but let in a soft equaliser in injury time. We would then have been going into this game with the chance of opening up a five point lead with a game in hand but it was not to be. We will just have to continue doing it the hard way."
