MORTON chief executive Chris Ross has hit back at Inverness manager Billy Dodds' claims that the away dressing room facilities at Cappielow 'weren't fit for vermin'.

In the aftermath of Ton's shoot-out win, the Caley boss branded the conditions a 'shambles' and 'disgusting' after a power issue meant he had to hold his half-time team talk in the dark.

Mr Ross responded to the claims suggesting that the Highland club didn’t take up the offer of an alternative solution despite their best efforts.

He revealed that Morton are in talks with Inverclyde Council over alternative facilities and hope to be granted approval today.

He told the Tele: "The generator that provides the lighting to the portacabins failed/experienced a power issue around half-time.

"Despite our best efforts to fix it, we could not get it back up and running that night.

"Understanding the situation was far from ideal, we then offered Inverness the chance to then move into our hospitality area for changing post match but they did not take this up.

"We had previously advised ICT at the pre-ops meeting several days before the game that toilet facilities were available for them at the Wee Dublin End toilet block.

"Why that information was not relayed to the team is unknown to us, but their failure to communicate effectively is not our responsibility.

"For future matches, we have been awaiting Inverclyde Council approval for visiting teams to use alternative facilities for changing.

"We are due to have another meeting with them tomorrow and expect to finally be given approval for this plan."
