Morton hit for six



Posted Saturday, September 11, 2010 by PA

Morton have at least six players missing for their home clash with Cowdenbeath.

Defenders Kevin McKinlay, David MacGregor and Nathan Shephard have been ruled out along with the midfield trio of Fouad Bachirou, Ryan Kane and Carlo Monti

Goalkeeper Kevin Cuthbert is also struggling with a shoulder injury and boss Allan Moore is keeping his fingers crossed that Allan Jenkins can play despite a leg knock.

Moore has brought in Celtic youngster Sean Fitzharris on an emergency loan to boost his numbers.

Moore said: "Any squad would struggle with six players out and another two players struggling. We will just get on with things and go out looking for the three points."

Cowdenbeath boss Jimmy Nicholl has a defensive dilemma ahead of the trip to Morton.

Centre-back Joe Mbu is fit again and he is added to the squad that defeated Partick 2-1.

But defensive duo of Jon Robertson and Dene Droudge remain out through injury along with midfielder Danny MacKay.

Nicholl said: "From what I have heard Joe was a big part in Cowdenbeath getting promoted and he looked good in a bounce game we played recently.

"I have to balance that against the guys who did so well against Partick so I have a big decision to make.

"It would have been a long two weeks if we had been beated but we won and have now been in sixth place in the league for a fortnight. If we end up there then the season will have been excellent."
