ALLAN MOORE would "seriously consider" the Morton job if it was offered to him.

The Stirling Albion boss is under contract at Forthbank but is eager to try his luck in full-time football and regards Cappielow as an attractive career move.

Moore told the Telegraph: "I am still manager at Stirling Albion but a full- time club is always something you aspire to. I'd like to think that Morton would want to speak to me.

"It is something I would seriously consider if [Morton] wanted me. But, at the end of the day, James Grady and Allan McManus have come in and done a good job.

"Obviously I do not want to burn my bridges at Stirling Albion. I've taken the club to the top of the league and I wouldn't want to upset my players. They are a great club but it is not full-time.

"I also have a full-time job at Cumbernauld College, but I have spoken to people who know [Morton] and it is a big club. Nobody has contacted me and I heard all [the speculation] before a couple of years ago when I took Stirling up to the First Division.

"I've been at Stirling for seven years. They were bottom of the Third Division when I took over. When you go into management, it is for the same reasons as when you are a player, you want to better yourself.

"I'd like to advance my career and being involved at a full-time club would do that. I'll wait to see what happens before I get too excited." Moore had a spell at Cappielow as a player in 2001 before moving on to Queen of the South, where he won the league.

He added: "The club nearly went bankrupt and that might have been when Douglas [Rae, the Morton chairman] came in.

"They have got a big fanbase. That was the good thing about playing against them in the Second Division, they always brought a good support. The pitch and the surroundings have improved since my time. With the crowd so close to the pitch, there's always a good atmosphere." Allan Maitland, of Alloa, has also been linked with the job while the caretaker team of James Grady and Allan McManus are both interested in the post. The pair have taken Morton to two straight victories, since they took over the reins following the sacking of Davie Irons.

The victory over Queen of the South at the weekend was an encouraging sign and, should they lead the team to a win against Ross County on Saturday, they will stake a strong claim to the position.

McManus said: "Myself and James are in charge until the chairman tells us otherwise. We will just prepare the team the best we can. I'd be lying if I said we wouldn't be interested in the job.

"But it is not about James Grady and Allan McManus. It is about Morton Football Club and getting the players back playing the way we know they can."
