Ross Matheson

I was sad to read about Ross Matheson (pictured) in today's Greenock Telegraph.The former Rangers and Morton midfielder was fined in court after being caught in possession of heroin. His lawyer was also quoted as saying: "He had developed quite a habit and was taking three bags a day, but is now on a methadone programme and is attending services voluntarily, where he receives counselling for his problems."

Ross was a player I always rated in his time at Cappielow; particularly for the way he carried some of the younger players through season 2000/01 - when we were at our lowest ebb - scoring 13 goals.

As a fan who appreciated his efforts for Morton at such a depressing time for the club I sincerely hope he can keep his life on track and wish him good luck in doing so.
