We are the Champions

This afternoon I went to Cappielow to watch Greenock Morton play the last match of the season, which could clinch the Scottish League 1 Championship.

It was a tense affair but Morton were crowned Scottish League One champions after beating a 10-man Peterhead 3-1.

Morton's promotion party did not look like materialising when Gary McDonald headed in Steven Noble's 17th-minute corner at the back post.

However, just four minutes later, last man Ross saw red for hauling down McManus, with Peter MacDonald rattling the post from the resulting free-kick.

Morton levelled after 36 minutes as Michael Miller's 25-yard effort arrowed into the bottom corner of the net and they went ahead shortly afterwards, Mark Russell's long-range effort deceiving Graeme Smith to find the net.

McManus made sure of the three points, and the title, in the latter stages as he rounded Smith before tapping home.

It was a great atmosphere and I liked this shot during the game when fans were looking very tense, and watching other scores from Stranraer and Forfar. I have added some more images from the day.

I stopped off at the Continental in Gourock for a quick pint before heading home and making a Thai Green Curry.
