Dumbarton face a trip to Greenock Morton at Cappielow Park on Saturday evening, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Sons will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 34 and win only 8 of the 54 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in March 2004, as the The 'Ton edged out their past their rivals by a score of 3 - 2 in a Scottish Division Two match.
