Scott Fox has joined Greenock Morton on an emergency loan ahead of their Championship play-off against Airdrie.
Morton suffered a goalkeeping crisis when number one Aidan McAdams picked up a hamstring injury in their play-off win over Montrose last Tuesday.
With Jamie Butler injured, the Cappielow side only had 19-year-old Chris Wylie to call upon so they approached Motherwell to secure the services of the experienced Fox on a short-term loan.
The 33-year-old has only recently returned from a long-term ACL injury which he sustained in a freak training incident in pre-season, shortly after joining the Steelmen.
Fox will be expected to make his first start of the season against the Diamonds in the first-leg of the Championship play-off tomorrow night.
Morton manager Gus MacPherson told the club website : “Aidan suffered an injury to his hamstring late in the game on Tuesday night so it gave us a few days to get someone in.
“It’s an extremely difficult situation to be in and we are very thankful to Motherwell FC especially Graham Alexander for allowing Scott to come to Morton and help us out of this crisis at such short notice”.
