Ludovic Roy Sent To The Gallows

Morton's opponents on Saturday, Ayr United, are set to be weakened following a six game suspension being levied on their star goalkeeper, Ludovic Roy. The former St. Mirren man is in the doghouse following a headbutt on Forfar's Alan Rattray. The assault was considered by the ivory tower-dwelling honchos at the SFL, who saw fit to send the Frenchman to the stand for the next six competitive games. This offers Morton a boost, as Roy is considered to be one of Ayr United's trump cards in a pack depleted by money woes and last year's relegation.

The other main player at Somerset, Stewart Kean, looks set to play on Saturday, eager to add to his seven goals so far this season. This tally includes two against Morton in August at Somerset Park. Despite picking up a knock during Saturday's 1-0 defeat against Dumbarton, the Honest Men's stalwart forward is expected to make a full recovery in time for the match.
