History of the Greenock Morton v Alloa Athletic fixture

Alloa Ath. face a trip to Greenock Morton at Cappielow Park on Sunday afternoon, and have come away with little in previous meetings, having taken no points from 27 of the 38 contests.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in January 2006, when they eased past their opponents in a high-scoring 4 - 1 thriller, in a Scottish Division Two match.
