MORTON manager Jim McInally's reign at the club could be over today after his side slumped to second bottom in the table – five points above Stirling Albion. The Greenock side were beaten 2-1 by Clyde at Cappielow on Saturday to extend their losing run to four consecutive league games.
McInally met with Morton chairman Douglas Rae following the surprise loss to the Broadwood club.
During his three-year reign, McInally guided the team out of the Second Division. However, Morton are now struggling and, an hour after the defeat by
Clyde, assistant manager Martin Clark said: "There has been no decision and they will meet again on Monday. I do not know what is going to happen."
It seemed as if a Chris Millar opener would be good enough for the three points until a disastrous last-minute goal rush. First, Ruari MacLennan levelled and Craig McKeown headed a second in injury time to give new Clyde manager John Brown his first win.
Richard Offiong scored a hat-trick in Hamilton's 3-0 win over Dunfermline as the New Douglas Park side opened up a seven-point lead at the top.
