VETERAN Premier League boss Neil Warnock named Morton as his local side as he revealed his desire to manage in Scotland. 

The 74-year-old joined the fan ownership group Morton Club Together last year and has attended several games at Cappielow.

The former Sheffield United and Cardiff City boss has ties to the club through his family and regularly stays across the water in Dunoon. 

The manager told BBC Scotland's Sacked in the Morning podcast that his Argyll holiday home had helped him through difficult periods in his career. 

He said:  "I've got bricks in the wall at Greenock Morton because that's our local team, as we have a house at Dunoon.

"My wife Sharon's grandparents came from Dunoon, so from the 90s we've gone up there. It's so peaceful.

"We play golf at a course called Blairmore and Strone. It's beautiful and so relaxing - and it's helped me in my career. I've been able to go up there at different times, during international breaks, and clear my mind."

Warnock also revealed in the same interview that he has always wanted to manage in Scotland, but has never had an offer.
