Raging Billy Dodds in astonishing Morton blast as Cappielow branded 'not fit for vermin'

Billy Dodds savaged the dressing-room conditions at Cappielow as "disgusting", insisting they weren’t fit for vermin as Caley Thistle crashed out of the Scottish Cup on penalties.

The Inverness boss said he had never seen such atrocious facilities in all of his time in Scottish football and the league leaders are back at Greenock on Saturday on league business.

The Highlands crashed out of the cup a to Ton after losing 5-4 on penalties following a 1-1 draw in their replay tie.

And former Scotland striker Dodds raged: “One of the portakabins has no lighting, which is a health hazard and I couldn’t put the players up there as you can’t see the stairs.

“The toilets are a disgrace, the generator went off at half-time and I have had my team talk in darkness.

“I wouldn’t put vermin in there, it was that bad. It’s not sour grapes but Scottish football should be better than this.

“It’s a shambles. It’s not acceptable and my boys are sitting there freezing. For health and safety it is a disgrace.

“It’s not so bad in the summer but on a winter’s night it is a disgrace to be treated like that. I have never in 36 years seen anything like that.

“The Morton staff are good people and they apologised but it is disgraceful and disgusting. I don’t think any team should be treated like that.”
