During the Second World War ‘guest’ players were common at clubs throughout Great Britain. Morton was particularly fortunate in this respect in that two of English football’s greatest ever players turned out at Cappielow. Sir Stanley Matthews and Tommy Lawton made several guest appearances for Morton. When Morton reached the 1948 Scottish Cup Final both players sent telegrams wishing good luck to their former club. Matthews simply said ‘I am delighted to see Morton reach the final of the Scottish Cup’. Lawton’s was more expressive, he said ‘Memories of happy days during the war at Cappielow compel me to wish the Morton manager & the boys all the best of luck in their cup final at Hampden’.
After experiencing financial problems the team was relegated from the First Division at the end of the 2000–01 season after a six-year stay and was put into administration. The club’s financial problems continued and a second successive relegation followed. In season 2002–03, Morton’s first ever season in the Third Division, the club’s financial situation was resolved by the takeover by chairman Douglas Rae.

Greenock Morton vs Hamilton Prediction
Hamilton briefly resigned from the league due to mounting debts. In 1994 the club sold its home ground, Douglas Park, to Sainsbury’s supermarket, and subsequently ground-shared in Coatbridge and Glasgow for seven years. During this period the club went through financial hardships and unpaid players went on strike. As a result, Hamilton was unable to fulfil one fixture during the 1999–2000 season and were docked 15 points, the result of which was relegation to the Third Division. The club moved into its New Douglas Park stadium in 2001.
