Morton's month-long wait for a new manager is set to end today with the appointment of former Brechin City, Raith Rovers and Dundee United boss Ray McKinnon.

The Greenock club dispensed with the services of Jim Duffy within hours of their final Championship fixture of the season against Inverness Caledonian Thistle at the end of April and the Cappielow club have looked at a number of candidates during their search for a replacement.

Livingston manager David Hopkin was installed as the frontrunner early. However, his success in guiding the Lions into the Premiership has led to the one-time Morton player and under-20 manager attracting bigger opportunities in both Scotland and England.
