格里诺克慕顿足球俱乐部（Greenock Morton Football Club）是位於蘇格蘭西部因弗克萊德的格里诺克（Greenock）的足球會，現時在蘇格蘭甲組聯賽作賽。於1874年以「慕顿足球俱乐部」（Morton Football Club）的名義成立，是蘇格蘭其中一支在高級聯賽角逐的老牌球會。

球衣顏色

慕顿的主場球衣顏色傳統上是藍白橫間衫、白褲及白襪，但2006/07年球季球隊改穿藍白直間衫、白褲及藍襪。歷年來慕顿曾短暫穿著不同款式的球衣，包括類似阿根廷國家隊的天藍及白直間衫，及慕顿式藍白格仔衫等。

The away strip tends to vary much more; for the 2003–2004 season it was an all yellow outfit, changing in 2004–2005 to all white, which in turn became the 3rd team strip in 2005–2006, with the special re-issue of the blue Morton tartan strip. The sponsor's logo on the strip is that of Millions, a brand owned by the Club Chairman's confectionery concern, Golden Casket (Greenock) Ltd.

主場球場

Their stadium is Cappielow Park in Greenock. Cappielow's etymology is allegedly of Scandinavian origin, although details of this are sketchy. It has been home to the club since the early part of the 20th century. Refurbishment has recently been completed, and presently the capacity is around 11,000, with 5,741 of these being seated. The area behind the western goal is known as the Wee Dublin end, which contains non-backed bench seating, converted from the old terracing that once stood there. The main stand contains plastic bucket seating to replace the old wooden benches that were a fixture of the ground until the late 1990s. The "Cowshed lies to the north of the pitch; formerly a fully terraced arena for both home and away supporters (complete with segregation fence down the middle), it is now for home supporters only, with much of the frontal terracing removed, and plastic bucket seats occupying its place. Behind the eastern goal is the "Sinclair Street" end, with uncovered terracing. In December 2008, Morton purchased the Reid Kerr sponsored East stand from St. Mirren for £50,000, to improve the away end at Cappielow.

敵對球隊

The club has a fierce local rivalry with St. Mirren from nearby Paisley although the Love Street side's original derby rivals were fellow Paisley senior side Abercorn, who went bankrupt in the 1920s, while Morton's were Port Glasgow Athletic, who ceased running a senior team in the Scottish League in 1912. Port Glasgow Athletic even shared Morton's Cappielow ground from 1917 until 1921 when the needs of the war saw their ground compulsorily purchased for housing for the local shipyards.

Morton have also had a traditional, although smaller, rivalry with Kilmarnock although this has diminished in recent years due to Killie's long stay in the SPL and Morton's stay in the lower divisions. Although more recent rivalries have developed with Airdrie United (due, in part, to a Morton fan, Chic Kavanagh, running the line for a game after the referee got injured.) and Dumbarton and Ayr United who, like Morton, don't have their traditional local rival to play in recent years. To an even smaller extent Partick Thistle and Peterhead matches have shown to be important to fans of both sides.
