Released Dunfermline midfielder Iain Wilson joins relegation rivals

Iain Wilson has joined Championship outfit Morton — just 24 hours after departing their relegation rivals, Dunfermline.

Wilson, 23, left the Pars by ‘mutual consent’ on Sunday after enduring an injury-hit campaign.

His final appearance for the Fifers came in a 4-2 defeat against Arbroath in October.

In total, the former Kilmarnock and Queen of the South man scored one goal in 30 games during his 18 months at East End Park.

✍️ Greenock Morton FC are delighted to confirm the signing of Iain Wilson on a short-term deal until the end of the season.

And Morton wasted no time in swooping as Dougie Imrie sought to strengthen his midfield options.

The ex-Scotland under-21 internationalist has penned a contract until the end of the season and, having trained with the Ton on Monday, could make his debut against Inverness this weekend.

Morton, who defeated Dunfermline 5-0 on January 8, are one point behind the Pars in the battle for Championship survival.
