MORTON boss Dougie Imrie believes the next ten days will be pivotal in his side's quest for a place in the Premiership play-offs.

The Ton boss has issued a rallying cry to his troops as they gear up for three games in six days, kicking off with this weekend's clash against Airdrie.

He told the Tele: "After Airdrie we have our game in hand on Tuesday, away to Ayr. That'll be the second of three games in six days.

"I think those three will be monumental, they'll probably tell you the full picture once we're out the other side of them.

"That's not just for us though, that's for everyone.

"Dunfermline are the team in the driving seat at the minute although, ourselves and Ayr have the game in hand over them.

"If we can go and win that, it'll take it to a point here or there. But I think that this season it'll be decided before the final day. It'll be hard to imagine it happening like it did last year."
