St Mirren and Morton meet in the Renfrewshire derby on Friday in a Ladbrokes Championship game that is live on BBC ALBA, kick-off 7.45pm.

The sides drew 0-0 at Cappielow back in August but have not met in a competitive fixture at the new St Mirren Park - the last encounter in Paisley was at Love Street in September 2005 when Saints won on penalties after a goalless draw to reach the Challenge Cup final.

The most recent league meeting in Paisley was on January 3, 2000 when a crowd of 7,224 saw a 1-1 draw - Mark Yardley opened the scoring but Michael Hart equalised for the visitors.

Jim Duffy's Morton go into Friday's game in excellent form, having won four games in a row to move into the play-off places but Ian Murray's St Mirren are yet to win at home in the Championship this season and are outside the relegation play-off place only on goal difference.
