**Morton loanee could make January return to his parent club, manager admits**
Arron Lyall's loan spell at Morton could be cut short, with a potential return to Ross County in January looming. Staggies' manager Tony Docherty has publicly stated that the young midfielder remains firmly in his plans, hinting at the possibility of recalling him during the winter transfer window.
Lyall, who joined the Greenock side on a temporary basis at the start of the season, has been a valuable asset for Morton, contributing to their midfield dynamism. However, Docherty's recent comments suggest that his time at Cappielow Park might be limited.
Speaking to reporters, Docherty emphasized Lyall's importance to Ross County's future. “Arron is still very much a part of what we’re building here in Dingwall,” he said. While acknowledging the benefits of Lyall gaining valuable first-team experience at Morton, he stopped short of guaranteeing that the loan agreement would run its full course.
The decision ultimately hinges on several factors, including Lyall's continued progress at Morton, Ross County's own injury situation, and the overall needs of Docherty's squad heading into the second half of the season. A recall could provide Ross County with added depth in midfield, particularly if injuries or departures leave them short-handed.
Morton manager Dougie Imrie will undoubtedly be keen to keep Lyall at the club for the remainder of his loan. The youngster has quickly become a popular figure amongst the Morton support, and his energy and creativity in midfield have been crucial to their performances. Losing him in January would represent a significant blow to their squad.
The situation leaves both clubs in a state of uncertainty. Morton will be hoping Lyall can continue his development with them, while Ross County will be assessing their options and considering whether bringing him back to Dingwall would be in their best interests. As the January transfer window approaches, all eyes will be on Lyall's situation to see where his future lies.
