Morton left it late to break the hearts of basement boys Stirling with Brian Graham scoring the only goal at Forthbank.
Stirling played with fortitude but struggled to create against a well-drilled Morton team, who pounced late on for the points through Graham.
Scott Robertson and Ross Forsyth had strikes on goal for the hosts but it was Allan Jenkins who came closest in the opening period for Morton, bringing a fine stop out of Scott Christie with a driven strike.
Stirling made changes in search of a decisive goal but it was Morton who snatched the winner with six minutes left.
Jenkins found room in the right channel and his pass fed Graham, who made no mistake with a classy finish into the top corner from 18 yards.
