MORTON striker Gary Oliver admits he’s undecided as to where his future lies.

The forward, whose contract runs out next month, has been offered a contract by the managerless club for next season as he is under the age of 23.

But with no boss in place at the Ton yet, the former Queen of the South player doesn’t want to commit to the club when he doesn’t know who will be in charge.

He told the Tele: “The manager offered a few boys contracts. A few of them were wondering what is happening now and who will be the new manager, including myself.

“Under the compensation rules as I’m under 23 they’ve offered me a contract, they need to offer me a contract otherwise I can leave for nothing.

“I’ll just need to wait and see what is happening, see who the new manager is and we’ll take it from there. A manager might come in and not fancy me as a player or I might not get on with him, so you need to weigh it up and see how it’s going to be.

“Hopefully it’s a good decision from the board and we’ll take it from there.”

Jim Duffy left the club shortly after the league finished after a poor run towards the end of the season, which saw Morton pick up only two wins in their last 11 league outings and miss out on the play-offs.

But Oliver said the team’s inconsistent form and changes up front in the starting 11 made it difficult to build up any sort of rhythm.

The striker netted six times in 37 outings last season, but played with different strikers for most of the campaign.

With injuries to Robert Thomson, Jai Quitongo missing large parts of the season and Duffy opting to rotate between using Bob McHugh, John Baird and Ben Armour, it was difficult for Oliver to create a consistent partnership up front.

But he also said the Morton players didn’t do themselves justice after finishing a disappointing seventh place.

He added: “There were six strikers, I’d be playing with a different striker every week. It was far from ideal but I played a majority of the games.

“As a player that’s what you want to do, and I thought I had an alright season, I could have been better here or there but I thought I did okay.

“The team was not as good as the season before, but that happens in football, you get your ups and downs.

“The season before was obviously a lot better, and we finished in the play-offs. It’s a very hard league.

“Every team is roughly about the same, they have roughly the same budgets, it’s more about who is most consistent with who finishes up at the top of the table.

“Last year we’d have a spell of five good games, five bad games and then five good games, so consistency wasn’t there as it has been the year before.

“It’s just a really hard league, you need a bit of luck here or there but we never did ourselves justice in the end.”
