History of the Dundee v Greenock Morton fixture

Morton face a trip to Dundee at Dens Park on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The The 'Ton will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 46 and win only 14 of the 78 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was earlier this season, the The Dee carving out a narrow 1 - 0 victory in a Scottish Division One match.
