Morton striker Gavin Reilly won't rule out staying at Cappielow

The 28-year-old will be leaving parent club Livingston upon the expiry of his contract and will consider where his future lies as the season comes to an end.

Reilly has enjoyed a successful loan spell with the Ton, becoming a fans’ favourite and playing a part in turning around the club’s fortunes to help them pull away from the danger zone.

The former St Mirren striker says he will now weigh up what’s best for his family.

He told the Tele: “It was good of Livingston to tell me early doors.

“It gives you more time to plan and it is better than being told perhaps a week or two after the season ends.

“I will be looking for a new club in the summer and a fresh start wherever that may be.

“I have really enjoyed my time at Morton the whole season.

“I am not ruling anything out, but it will just be a case of sitting down at the end of the season and seeing what my options are and deciding what is best for me and my family.”

Saturday’s 1-0 defeat to Hamilton on Saturday leaves Morton still looking for the point they need to confirm their position in the league next season.

Reilly believes they should go into the final two games of the season with confidence after turning their campaign around since the turn of the year.

He said: “If we go and win on Saturday then that is it.

“We can obviously not take our foot off the gas for the last game, but we can go and enjoy it and be more relaxed.

“It is the business end of the season and that puts a bit of pressure on ourselves, but I would much rather be in the position we are in.

“The boys deserve credit for putting that good run of results together to be five points ahead of the two teams behind us because at Christmas time a lot of people would have perhaps written us off.

“We’ve done well to bounce back and put ourselves in a good position to stay in this division.

“We have shown that we are more than capable of winning games.”

Reilly has made 28 appearances for Dougie Imrie’s side in the league this season and believes the move has helped him get back to the top of his game after being hit with injury problems.

He added: “I have got back to the levels that I know I can reach.

“Anyone will tell you who has been out injured or not played for a long time it is hard to go back and straight back into the levels that you know you can reach.

“It takes you a bit of time to bed in and from December onwards I have shown that I am a good enough striker at this level.

“It has been good to get back to full fitness and it will be great going into the summer in a good frame of mind rather than being in that injured state where you are fighting to get fit.”
