Right, that's it for our coverage tonight.

For Motherwell fans waiting to hear from Stuart Kettlewell, you can read quotes on our dedicated Motherwell page in a wee while.

What a terrific night of Scottish Cup action as Morton become the first side into the quarter-finals.

We'll be back tomorrow. Ciao!

That was just the appetiser for this Scottish Cup weekend on the ±«Óãtv.

Here's what's still to come.

Morton striker George Oakley on Sportscene: "We are all together in the dressing room, we had a bad spell at the start of the season but I think most teams have that and it is about how you dig yourselves out of that.

"I was digging at myself about that chance [that hit the bar]. In my head I guaranteed it was a goal. I knew I would get one more chance and it is about how I can take it and I did.

"These things happen, you put yourself in the right position and you get the chances.

"The confidence is flying, you can see it on the pitch. It is not just me, it is the whole team in there, the staff as well, you don't understand how together the club is. It is just amazing to be part of.

"2-0 is a very dodgy scoreline because they got back into it and we were just defending but I thought the boys were fantastic at the back tonight.

"These things happen but I thought the boys defended so so well. They were strong, dominant even against in form strikers that Motherwell have."

I tell you what...I don't think any team will find it easy at Cappielow in the quarter-finals, should they have to go there.

A tight pitch, a fan base who are galvanised by a team full of spirit, intensity, and quality too.

They'll be tough to beat in this form.

Morton manager Dougie Imrie on Sportscene: “I’m absolutely delighted. I’m really happy for my players. We managed to get the second goal at the right time. I’m really proud of them. This is a massive victory for the club.

“The back four handled [Blair Spittal and Theo Bair] very well tonight. To a man, my players were outstanding. You take anybody in the hat. If we’ll get a home tie and we get this kind of support, we’ll take anybody.

"The fans have been absolutely fantastic since I've come to the club. It's nights like these you hope to give back to them."

I think it was a fantastic performance. Not just in the first half to go in 1-0 up but how they managed the second half.

When they won the ball they didn't just kick it anywhere, they had a plan.

It's a fantastic achievement for Morton.

Morton captain Jack Baird on Sportscene: "We'd have liked to have seen it out at 2-0. But we're happy with it, we're into the next round.

"Last year we went out the round before this. We'll hopefully get a home tie in the draw.

"That would be nice. You can't hear yourself speak. I was trying to shout and organise the defence but you can't hear anything. It's absolutely bouncing in here."

There was some atmosphere at Cappielow tonight. A proper Scottish Cup night under the lights.

The fans truly played their part.

What a night in Greenock. Morton make it 13 games unbeaten and it's now 10 wins in those 13.

George Oakley was named player of the match, and rightly so.

His 11th goal of the season ended up being the difference, and what a calm and composed finish it was.

That added to Harry Paton's own goal before the break. Motherwell set up a tense finish when Jack Vale scored late on, but they didn't really come close to an equaliser.

It's all over!

The Championship side have dumped out top-flight Motherwell.

It's huff and puff stuff from Motherwell.

But they'll need something better in the final 90 seconds if they want to force extra time.

Morton closing in on the quarter-finals.

Is there a dramatic late twist to come?

Ooft, that was close. Another ball into the Morton box causes a bit of panic, and Bevis Mugabi almost gets on the end of it.

Mugabi appears to have gone up top.

Up the other end, only the toe of Andy Halliday prevents Lewis McGrattan from shooting at goal.

Motherwell defender Bevis Mugabi flies into a tackle and takes the ball, and a bit of Robbie Muirhead.

Mugabi goes in the book.

Now Motherwell go even closer.

Jack Vale opens up a shooting angle in the box, but curls just wide.

Never mind belting out Discoland, this place is in dreamland.

Theo Bair goes close.

Blair Spittal hoists a high ball in and Bair heads it on target, but it's straight at Ryan Mullen.

Jai Quitongo and Lewis McGrattan are on for Morton as Dougie Imrie makes his first subs of the evening.

Off go Alan Power and Robbie Crawford, who have put in some shift.

Motherwell get down Morton's right-hand side, and Blair Spittal fizzes a ball into the six-yard box but nobody in claret and amber can get on the end of it.

Morton goalkeeper Ryan Mullen gathers. Tick tock...
