Falkirk vs Greenock Morton - Aaron Muirhead available for Falkirk

Posted Friday, April 29, 2016 by PA

Falkirk welcome Aaron Muirhead back into their ranks as they look to keep hold of second place by defeating Morton at the Falkirk Stadium.

Despite Muirhead's availability, the Bairns are still without long-term injury victims Peter Grant (knee) and Connor McGrandles (broken leg).

Falkirk are level on points with Hibernian but have a better goal difference.

Manager Peter Houston said: "We are in the driving seat and we cannot ask for any more than that. Morton are a very difficult side to play against however we will look to get the three points and then see what happens.

"Winning will be difficult enough without saying we need to do this or that to improve our goal difference."

Morton are again without Conor Pepper, Frank McKeown (both knee) and Michael Tidser (hip).

Manager Jim Duffy, whose side drew with Hibs last week, said: "We are facing opponents who have everything to play for again and we need to show the same focus and commitment that we displayed in our goalless draw last weekend.

"It should be an exciting game as Falkirk will be determined to get a win however we are not just going there to make up the numbers."
