Greenock Morton FC is a Scottish football team from Greenock in Scotland. It was founded as Morton Football Club in 1874, making it one of the oldest senior Scottish clubs. Their stadium is Cappielow Park in Greenock, a ground they have occupied since 1879. Morton were one of the founding members of the old Second Division formed in 1893. They first gained promotion to the First Division in 1899–1900 where they remained until 1927.  Morton's greatest success came in April 1922 when they defeated Rangers 1–0 in the Scottish Cup Final. The following season this successful side broke up after a dispute over wages and in 1927 Morton were relegated to Scottish Division Two, returning to the top flight as runners-up after two seasons. The club was relegated again in 1933, gained promotion in 1937, but went straight back down again the following season. When the Scottish League restarted in 1946, Morton were placed in the new Division A. In April 1948 they once again met Rangers in the Scottish FA Cup final but this time they lost in the replay after the first match was drawn 1-1. The following season they were relegated, bounced back immediately as Division B champions, only to drop back down again in 1952. Morton's third cup final appearance was in 1963 (they were still in the Second Division at the time) when they met Rangers again in the final of the Scottish League Cup, the Glasgow club winning 5-0. Promotion and relegation came in quick succession, although between 1967 and 1975 they played in the top flight, even qualifying for the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup (forerunner of the UEFA Cup) in 1967 only to be eliminated by Chelsea 3-9 on aggregate in the first round. 

They were placed in the new Division One (now the second level) following the formation of the Premier Division in 1975 winning the championship in 1978. For the next five seasons Morton struggled to hold on to their place in the Premier Division before being relegated in 1983. After a shortreturn to the top level (1987-88), Morton dropped briefly into the Second Division (1994-95). In 2001 Morton suffered a severe financial crisis and was forced into administration. The club narrowly avoided being wound up but successive relegations in 2001 and 2002 took them down to the Third Division (the fourth and lowest tier). Recovery followed once the club's finances stabilised: Morton won the Third Division title at the first attempt and they returned to the First Division (second tier) in 2007. They were relegated after finishing bottom of the Championship (now second tier) at the end of the 2013-14 season.  The club returned to the Championship at the first time of asking earning the club a tenth league title, making it the fourth most crowned league champions in Scotland behind Rangers, Celtic and Clyde.  They completed their eight consecutive season in the Championship at the end of the 2022-23 season.
