MORTON have paid tribute following the death of former title-winning star Jack Bolton.

He joined the club in 1966 and helped Ton to a record-breaking promotion season, setting records for the number of league wins, points achieved and fewest goals conceded in the Second Division.

Jack also had spells with Raith Rovers, Ipswich and Dumbarton during his career.

At Cappielow, he starred at left half or inside forward and netted 13 goals in 27 appearances during the championship-winning season.

The highlight was a four-goal haul in October 1966 as Ton thrashed Stenhousemuir 9-1 at Cappielow.

In almost 250 games in Scotland, the only team he scored for was Morton.

Morton say their 'thoughts go out to Jack’s family and friends at this time'.
