Story of the season

[edit]

May

[edit]

Paul Di Giacomo, Colin Stewart, Stuart McCaffrey, Darren McGeouch, Ross Forsyth, Grant Evans, Marc Smyth, Andy Jackson, Matthew McGinley and Iain Flannigan left the club after their contracts expired. Mark McLaughlin was the first to be brought in to begin the rebuilding process.[1]

Joel Kasubandi and Creag Little were released while Fouad Bachirou stated he would not re-sign, Lewis Hawke and Martin Maguire were offered unpaid reserve contracts, and Andy Graham, Thomas O'Ware, Derek Young, Peter MacDonald, Archie Campbell and Peter Weatherson were asked to re-sign. Winger David O'Brien signed on for another season.[2]

Willie Dyer signed on a free transfer from Raith Rovers, and Archie Campbell re-signed to the club.[3]

Thomas O'Ware signed his new one-year contract,[4] as did Peter Weatherson.[5] Weatherson also agreed to take over as a coach of one of the club's youth sides.[6]

Morton signed Scotland youth international Jason Naismith on loan from St Mirren.[7] Former Scotland U19 international Stephen Stirling signed a pre-contract to join when his Stranraer contract expired in June.[8]

London-based Danshell became the new sponsor of the Morton youth academy, in a £10,000 one-year deal.[9]

June

[edit]

David Hopkin was brought in to work as co-manager of the reserve side alongside Jonatan Johansson.[10]

Morton made their fifth signing of the season, bringing in young Motherwell fullback Jordan Halsman on a free transfer.[11]

Andy Graham rejected the club's contract offer and signed for Dumbarton, along with Ross Forsyth who has been released in May.[12]

As they did last season, Morton brought in Graeme Jones as a sports scientist on a consultancy basis during the off-season period.[13]

Morton were given a home tie in the first round of the Scottish League Challenge Cup against Albion Rovers.[14]

Moore revealed that it was unlikely that captain Derek Young would re-sign with the club as "his kids and his wife are still up in Aberdeen".[15]

The fixtures were released on 18 June, with Morton starting off at home to Livingston on 11 August.[16]

Peter MacDonald signed a new one-year deal at the club, and goalkeeper Derek Gaston was signed as back-up to Alan Combe from Albion Rovers.[17]

Ex-Dunfermline winger David Graham was signed on 20 June.[18]

A home friendly against Kilmarnock, and a closed doors game against Rapid București was organised.[20]

Simon Mensing and Kyle Wilkie were taken on trial after being released by Hamilton Accies.[21] Tony Wallace was also on trial, and Moore expected to sign him within the next week.[22]

July

[edit]

Tony Wallace completed his transfer to Cappielow for an undisclosed nominal fee.[23]

After only a couple of months, Johansson left the club to become U20 coach at Motherwell.[33]

David Hutton signed a short-term deal at the club as understudy to Derek Gaston.[34]

September

[edit]

Alan Combe left to become a coach at Tynecastle with Hearts.[35]

After not being able to play all season up to this point, Peter MacDonald was ruled out for a further six weeks due to having surgery on his plantar fascia.[36]

Morton brought in ex-Celtic youth Liam Gormley on trial, and he scored in his first match against Largs Thistle.[37]

With a 3–2 defeat of Airdrie United, Morton won four straight league games for the first time since the 1995–96 season.

October

Morton entered the Scottish Cup in the third round draw, and received an away tie at Albion Rovers who they defeated in the Challenge Cup earlier in the season.[38]

After eight consecutive wins, Morton's reserves ("the Bomb Squad") drew their first game of the season against Airdrie United.[43]

December

[edit]

Morton avoided the embarrassment of losing to Turriff when Peter Weatherson earned them a replay at Cappielow in the fourth round of the Scottish Cup.[44] The replay was postponed at the first attempt due to a frozen pitch.[45]

Morton won the replay 6–0 to set up a fifth round tie against Premier League Dundee.[46]

Morton launched their social inclusion project, the Greenock Morton Community Trust, to get people in the local area involved in football at a young age.[57]
