MORTON boss Dougie Imrie admits he faces an anxious wait to see if his Cappielow side can finally kick off 2025.

Ton were due to face off against Raith Rovers today before a damning weather forecast predicted sub zero temperatures that currently engulf Inverclyde led to both sides opting to push the game back 24 hours to Sunday, January 12.

It is hoped that the decision will give the tie the best chance of going ahead, but Ton now face an anxious wait to see if they'll go up to as much as a month being idle. And Imrie revealed how challenging preparing for the game has been.

He told the Tele: "It was disappointing to lose another game. Again, it's been rearranged for the middle of February, where we're now going to have to play a lot of games.

"We'll now go into February and play Saturday, Tuesday, Saturday, Tuesday, in a short space of time, which will put a lot of strain on the players. But we just have to deal with it.

"That's we're hopeful that the game tomorrow goes ahead as well, because then that'll be another game that'll need to be rearranged, probably for February as well, which isn't ideal. But yeah, we just keep pushing on.

"Yeah, listen, it's the same, it's not just for us, it's the same for a lot of clubs, you know.

"The weather's not ideal for everyone, but you're right, it's trying to get venues, because there's so many teams trying to pick up places to train.

"We're thankful that we were able to get Toryglen in Glasgow on Friday, we're having to go to Largs today.

"So it's a bit of Jekyll and Hyde at the moment, trying to find places to train. The boys are professional though, they just come in and get their work done and then we try to move on as quick as we can.

"That's the reason why we're hopeful the game goes ahead on Sunday, because if we don't, it'll be a month since we've had a competitive game."

Imrie admits that going so long without a game is a daunting prospect at a crucial time in the season and in the midst of a seven game unbeaten run.

He revealed one of the challenges he'll face should the game not make it tomorrow.

He added: "We've been put out of the Scottish Cup, so we'll have another free week.

"So yeah, that'll be us up to the 25th against Queen's Park.

"It's a long time to not have a game, to try to keep the players motivated, because they just want to play football.

"When games are called off, they get a wee bit deflated, so again, it's up to myself and the staff to make sure that doesn't happen."
