Bob McHugh scored a fine hat trick as Morton claimed their first points of the season against Alloa Athletic.

The Greenock side showed five changes from the side that lost at Ayr, with visiting manager Peter Grant's son Peter one of those dropping out.

McHugh and Kevin Cawley traded goals before Reece Lyon edged Morton in front just after the break.

The hosts cruised it after that, McHugh adding two more - one an overhead kick - with Alloa's Andy Graham sent off.

Morton manager David Hopkin: "We made five changes to the team that lost at Ayr and the response was terrific.

"I think Alloa are a good team and Peter has them playing expansive football. But we had some fantastic performances. Aiden Nisbett was out of this world."

Alloa Athletic manager Peter Grant: "No excuses. The boys just didn't turn up for their work today. And that's the first time that has happened since I took the job.

"We were not sharp enough all over the park. And it is nothing to do with part-time training. Morton deserved it."
