Scottish Championship: Greenock Morton v Falkirk

Dougie Imrie has called on the Scottish Professional Football League to do more to safeguard players from the perils of fixture congestion with his Greenock Morton side due to play four matches in 11 days.

Morton played Airdrieonians last Saturday and Hamilton Academical on Tuesday. They face Falkirk on Friday live on BBC Scotland before going to Livingston on Tuesday.

Imrie believes such a schedule puts players at greater risk of injury, suggesting that it "is remarkable" to expect his side to play four games in 11 days.

"You're playing a game every two and a half days," he said. "Where's the player recovery?

"That's why, at times, I think players are picking up needless injuries and long-term injuries because they are not getting any time to recover.

"There has to be a better way to plan the games out. Surely they can find another period where they can make it a bit easier on players">
