Peterhead pack their bags to visit Greenock Morton at Cappielow Park on Saturday afternoon, looking to break their duck against the hosts. Both of the previous encounters have resulted in a drawn game.

The previous match played between the two at Cappielow Park was within the last three years, in May 2003, the The 'Ton carving out a narrow 1 - 0 victory in a Scottish Division Three match.
