FRUSTRATED Morton forward Jai Quitongo says he is fed up of being left crocked as a result of the challenges that opposition defenders use to try and stop him.

The wideman has just made his first start in nearly four months after being sidelined by an ankle injury.

It's not the first time he has found himself injured and out of action for a prolonged spell, and he admits the absences have taken their toll.

After coming on as a sub against Partick and then starting as Ton reached the last 16 of the Scottish Cup by beating Montrose, he hopes his rotten run of luck is finally over.

Quitongo said: "I've had to keep my head down and work hard to get back fit.

"I don't like coming to my work and not being able to do my job.

"It's the most frustrating thing in the world, so I'm just happy to have been back out on the pitch.

"I've not had any luck but I hope this is finally me okay now, touch wood.

"I think it's the way people tackle me, but I hope I can get the bit of luck I've been needing now.

"I've said before that I take it as a compliment, all these hard tackles, but I'm sick of them now."

Greenock Telegraph:

Quitongo believes his run-out on Saturday will stand him in good stead for the rest of the season and says that the League One side were tough opponents.

He told the Tele: "It was my first start since September, so it's been a long time coming.

"I'd been building up my match fitness for a few weeks had a few cameos here and there.

"People always think that because you're playing a lower league opposition that it'll always be easy, but it's anything but. They're the hardest games and anyone within football won't tell you otherwise.

"We might've not played the prettiest but the main aim of last weekend was just to get into the hat for the fifth round draw by any means necessary."

Greenock Telegraph:

Quitongo says the Cappielow dressing room is a buoyant place to be after Ton stretched their unbeaten run to 10 games.

He is adamant that everyone within Cappielow knew that the team's fortunes would turn after a difficult start to the season left them rooted to the bottom of the Championship.

He said: "The team are in a good place just now. We went eleven unbeaten last year and we'd like to at least match that if not try to beat it.

"Everybody's positive just now and we're always raring to go for the next game that's coming.

"The mentality has always been there, but we always knew we'd come good.

"The ability we have in that dressing room cannot be understated.

"We are a close knit group, it was always going to turn and now that it has touch wood it can continue."
