Motherwell v Morton: How to watch Scottish Cup clash

Motherwell will hope to bounce back from their 3-1 defeat at Ross County on Tuesday night as they host Championship side Morton in the Scottish Cup fourth round.

Dougie Imrie's Greenock side are on a bit of form, with two wins and a draw since the Hamilton Accies legend took over as manager, but despite their defeat in Dingwall, Motherwell are one of the top sides in Scotland, and currently sit fourth in the Premiership.

Motherwell hosted Morton at this stage of the competition last season, winning 5-3 on penalties following a 1-1 draw in extra-time, so will be aware of how difficult a task this is likely to be.

That could set us up for a cup cracker in front of a big crowd at Fir Park.

It's a 3pm kick-off for the fourth round clash, and capacity crowds are allowed back in to Fir Park, but those who can't be there can watch it on Motherwell TV for £12 by clicking here where you can log-in.

Live coverage starts at 2.15pm.

Referee for the fourth round clash is Nick Walsh, who will be assisted by Frank Connor and Graham McNeillie.

In 24 game this season, Walsh has issued 97 yellows and eight red cards.

He last took charge of a game involving Motherwell on December 18, when they beat St Johnstone 2-0 at Fir Park.

Walsh was also in charge for the 6-1 defeat to Rangers on October 31, in which Stephen O'Donnell was sent off, and the 1-1 draw at St Johnstone on August 8.

He has been in charge of just one game involving Morton this season, a 3-0 Premier Sports Cup group stages defeat at Stranraer on July 10.
