Morton manager David Hopkin believes Storm Ciara had her part to play in a 2-2 Ton draw with Queen of the South.

In testing weather, Hopkin believes that the wind and rain affected the match. He also thinks that on the balance of play, a share of the Palmerston spoils was probably fair.
“Training was fantastic with everybody but I thought conditions played a massive part in the game,” said Hopkin. “I thought we couldn’t get our game going, we couldn’t get our wide players involved.
“All in all I think a draw was a fair result. It was dying down then it was going up again. I just think we didn’t start the game the way we wanted to. I thought we came out in the second half with a different tempo to the game.

“That’s what got us back into it. Wind, conditions, you can blame anything, but the two teams have got to play in it. I thought we did create the better chances.
“It was always important to get Kris Doolan minutes. I just thought we could maybe get another goal because he is a goal threat.”
