BARCELONA, PSV Eindhoven and Liverpool...they’ll all be live on TV at tea-time on Saturday — along with the mighty Morton as the cameras come to Cappielow.

The old ground will host its first live televised match in almost 16 years as BBC Alba broadcast coverage of the Greenock men’s vital clash with Dunfermline.

They’ve picked out what should be a decent game, as Jim Duffy’s men bid to make it three out of three after a brace of wins earlier in the season over the Fifers.

There is plenty at stake as both sides try to close the gap on leaders Stranraer at the top of League One, and the presence of the cameras will maybe add an edge to proceedings.

Recent activity in the transfer window adds a bit of extra spice to the fixture, with Andy Barrowman exiting Ton to return to East End Park and Ross Forbes, below right, going in the opposite direction.

But the signing that every Morton fan wants to talk about at the moment is Michael Tidser.

The Telegraph exclusively revealed early on Wednesday that not only was the midfielder ready to return for a second spell with the club, but that he was penning a two and a half year deal.

It is a superb signing by Morton which underlines their determination to get back to the Championship at the first time of asking, and all credit to chairman Douglas Rae and the management team for pulling such an ambitious move off.

Tidser — the instrumental figure in the club’s highest finish in over two decades — is a polished performer capable of playing at a higher level than League One.

So it speaks volumes about the club’s desire to get him back that the 25-year-old — recently freed by Rotherham United — shunned interest from other clubs down south and Scottish Premiership teams to rejoin the side he left in 2013.

As far as many fans are concerned, the capture of Tidser — allied to the signing of another Ton old-boy, Peter MacDonald — will ultimately make all the difference and enable their team to go and win the league.

It’s only two weeks since I wrote in these pages about the club needing a shot in the arm to restore the feelgood factor and create a bit of a buzz.

In the space of just a couple of weeks the atmosphere has changed completely, with everyone now much more upbeat.

Those at the club will fervently hope that the ambition they have shown during the January window might coax a few lapsed fans back to the fold as the promotion chase hots up.

If signings of this calibre cannot help entice a few hundred more folk through the gates then it’s questionable if anything will. Morton go into tomorrow’s game off the back of a result at Ayr United which seemed to divide opinion.

Having already lost twice to the Honest Men this term, there were those who felt that coming back from 1-0 down to claim a share of the spoils was a decent result.

Given Ton’s hitherto somewhat dubious record on the road and the fact that Ayr were clearly energised by the arrival of new manager Ian McCall, this viewpoint is entirely understandable.

For others, it was a case of two points dropped, with United’s recent woeful form cited, in addition to the fact that the visitors carved out a series of good chances and spurned them.

Over the piece a draw looked about right, however, and it allowed Ton to claw a point back on the tabletoppers, albeit with second-placed Forfar winning.

Given a fair wind, I fancy that new Somerset Park boss McCall may well get them going in the right direction and the 1-1 draw might come to look a better result as the season progresses.

On the evidence of what Ayr offered during last Saturday’s 90 minutes, Ton’s challengers will not get it easy when they travel down to the coast and may well spill points.

Morton have to focus on what they do — and they now have a significantly bolstered squad which should enable them to really kick on.

In addition to Tidser’s arrival, striker MacDonald’s second debut for the club showed just what he will bring to the party.

He may not be fully match fit yet, but he showed he retains all the qualities which made him such a favourite in his first spell.

His movement was intelligent, he sought out and found space where others could not, he drew fouls from the opposition, and, crucially, showed all his finishing instincts to net the equaliser.

With more games under his belt, and Tidser back to restore the supply line which worked so well at a higher level two years ago, he will be confident of adding to his goal tally in short order.

His team-mates at the back have an equally crucial role to play, and for my money they looked much more effective last week with Thomas O’Ware restored to the backline.

It will be interesting to see whether he stays there tomorrow, or whether Duffy decides that his physical presence is needed in the middle of the park, where Ton have looked a little lightweight at times.

Dunfermline’s form has been very poor of late but they have one or two new faces themselves and will likely view this game as a chance to finally get one over on their hosts and put themselves back in the promotion frame at the same time.

Morton will not take them lightly and the stage seems set for a compelling game in front of the TV audience and, hopefully, a decent attendance.

TEAM LATEST RETURNING fan favourite Michael Tidser is in line for his second Morton debut but his participation will hinge on international clearance.

Striker Peter MacDonald has been suffering with sciatica but is managing the problem and expects to be fit and available for selection.

Jamie McCluskey misses out due to the hamstring strain suffered at Ayr last week, as do long-term absentees Nicolas Caraux (groin) and Jon Scullion (knee).

However, goalkeeper Derek Gaston is approaching full fitness and could reclaim the No1 jersey from Grant Adam.
