MORTON midfielder Cameron Blues admits that the gloss was taken off his 150th appearance for the club on Saturday by a disappointing defeat to Dunfermline.

The 25-year-old will look back on the milestone with pride but says any personal landmarks will mean nothing just now, with the team desperate to get back to winning ways.

Blues says he never envisaged reaching the figure when he first arrived on Sinclair Street in 2019 and praised current boss Dougie Imrie for the faith he has shown in him.

He said: "It probably won't sink in for a few weeks yet but I've really enjoyed my five years here, so it's brilliant to hit a milestone of this sort. However, it was a really disappointing result to mark it. I thought we had done enough to at least get a draw. I just want to get back to winning games and doing well again.

"Reaching 150 games with one club is never something you imagine doing when you first start out as a footballer. I just want to play as many games as possible because even one is a privilege.

"I've just tried to take it season by season, the gaffer's played me a lot and I've enjoyed working under him ever since he's come here.

"I've enjoyed my time at the club, so it feels great to be playing week-in, week-out. 

Blues says Ton must keep their heads up after going down to a fourth consecutive leagie defeat which damaged their hopes of making the promotion play-offs.

He said: "We need to try and stay positive because we've been on a bad run before this season. We reacted to that well with the sixteen game unbeaten run.

"We'll train well this week and try to bounce back against Queen's Park this weekend."

Blues admits it is difficult to put his finger on what's gone wrong over the last few weeks after Ton fell down the league table to sixth place.

He said: "It's confusing what's gone on over the last few weeks, in fact it's frustrating.

"That's the thing about football though. If you could put your finger on what it is specifically that's going wrong, you'd be a genius.

"I think that it's just mainly down to taking chances to be honest. The conditions were tough against Dunfermline.

"We thought we'd be better with the wind behind us in the second half, but we couldn't just get that final ball. It was one of those days."
