Match Report
Bankies were certainly hit for four in this friendly played at Cappielow on Monday night.
Left half Kerr started the goal rush in the 14th minute when he blasted home a Kennedy pass from 20 yards giving keeper Dick Madden no chance.
The 'Bankies' defence kept Morton's goal-hungry forwards at bay until a minute before half-time when Bartram broke through the defence and prodded the ball home.
In the second half Frank Russell replaced right winger Rutherford and made some difference to the attack but unfortunately luck was not with them. A Baxter shot was the nearest they got to scoring and this was saved well by the home keeper.
Taylor got Morton's other two goals in the 61st and the 82nd minutes to seal the game up tight.

Morton used this challenge match at Cappielow last night as a stiff test for left back Jim Kennedy who has been sidelined for over a month, and the ex-Celt emerged with flying colours.
He was one of the best defenders on the park and it was his pass that gave Morton their first goal in the 14th minute.
Borge Thorup, Morton's Danish right back also made his first appearance for the big-league team this season and demonstrated his ability with dangerous runs up the wing that kept the Clydebank defence on its toes.
Morton's first goal in the 14th minute when their left half Kerr who showed a great deal of promise blasted home a 20 yarder which gave Clydebank keeper no chance.
The Bankies defence kept Morton out after that until the 44th minute. Bartram raced into prod home from close range after a Jensen shot was cleared from the goal line by McAleer.
Martin substituted island for Jensen in the second half no doubt to give the big Dane who was so full of running a rest before his appearance against Rangers on Saturday.
Although slower than the Dane, Allan showed some clever touches.
The Bankies substituted Russell for right winger Rutherford, and this made some difference to their attack, but it still lacked the scoring touch.
The nearest thing to a score was a pile-driver by Baxter which was finger tipped over the bar by Russell the Morton keeper.
Taylor, one of Morton's best forwards put them three up in the 61st minute from a Sweeney pass and he got another in the 82nd minute with a long lob that deceived the Bankies keeper.
Morton had most of the game and with a little more care in their shooting and less shyness on the part of some of their forwards at having a shot for goal they might easily have doubled the score sheet.
