Story of the season

Brian Graham , Ryan Kane and Nathan Shepherd were all released.[3]
Grant Evans signed a one-year permanent deal after his loan deal expired.[4]
Ross Forsyth became Morton's second signing of the season, coming in on a free transfer from Stirling Albion ,[5] on a part-time basis.[6]
Allan Moore confirmed pre-contract agreements with another two ex-Stirling players in Paul di Giacomo and Andy Graham ,[7] they completed the deals in June 2011.
Carlo Monti turned down a new contract offer with the club.[8]

Kevin Kelbie was allowed to leave six months early to join Jenkins in Northern Ireland, signing for Glenavon .[10]

Fouad Bachirou signed a new one-year deal, and loanee from last season Sean Fitzharris returned to the club after being released by Celtic .[13]
Morton hired renowned sports scientist Graeme Jones, to improve the squad's fitness over the pre-season program.[14]
A few unattached players took part in the first day of pre-season training, including Archie Campbell , Peter MacDonald and Darren McGeouch (who previously played for the club). Gavin Skelton was also spoken to regarding a possible move to Cappielow ,[15] and came into the training ground for a trial.[16] Skelton signed for English non-league side Barrow after being offered a bumper contract; a major coup for the Bluebirds .[17]
Trialists McGeouch and MacDonald scored in closed doors games against Airdrie United and Hibernian respectively.[18]
July
Morton sign two youngsters, Creag Little and Conor Ramsay , from rivals St Mirren on free transfers.[19]
Three more trialists signed up on one-year deals, Darren McGeouch, Peter MacDonald and Archie Campbell.[20]
Morton lost 3–2 at home to Motherwell , with the afore-mentioned players all taking part, as well as trialists Josh Knight (Port Talbot Town ) and Florian Verplanck (Beauvais ).[21]
Morton lost in the Renfrewshire Cup final for the sixth season in succession. This time, a 4–2 defeat with Peter Weatherson scoring two late consolations.[22]
Morton recovered from this derby defeat by hammering Stranraer 8–0 in the Challenge Cup first round,[23] and defeating Alloa Athletic in the League Cup .

December
Morton took former Spain U21 Jorge Larena and current Finland U21 international Tuomas Rannankari on trial.[38] Larena eventually signed for Huesca .[39]
Moore confirmed that Dominic Cervi would return to Celtic in January, and that it would be difficult to bring in Rannankari as he was still contracted to Twente .[40]
January
Derek Young was offered a new contract, but Dominic Cervi returned to Celtic after his loan spell and Kevin McCann was allowed to leave after his contract expired.[41]
Graham Gartland was rumoured to be in signing talks with the club, from St Johnstone.[42] This was repudiated by the club, as they announced that Young had signed his contract extension.[43] Gartland in the end signed for Shamrock Rovers back in his hometown of Dublin .[44]
Morton traversed the challenge of Raith Rovers in Kirkcaldy to progress to the Fifth Round of the Scottish Cup with a comeback to win 2–1. After the draw for the next round was made by André Villas-Boas and Marcello Lippi , Morton were drawn away to Motherwell in the Fifth Round.[45] Prices were confirmed as being £15 for adults, the same as a First Division game at Cappielow, so a considerable discount from Motherwell's usual SPL prices.[46]
