David MacGregor was given another years contract with the club. This will coincide with his testimonial year at Morton.[26]
French trialists Fouad Bachirou and Tarik Bengelloun were signed on one-year deals.[27] It turned out however that Bengelloun required to serve a lengthy suspension for a bottle throwing incident in France, so the contract offer was rescinded.[28] Bengelloun later returned to France to sign for Racing in Paris.[29]

April
[edit]Derek Lyle was arrested by Strathclyde Police, as part of Operation Neptune, on suspicion of possession of controlled substances at his home in Bishopbriggs.[51] This later was confirmed to be "possession with intent to supply", a much more serious charge for which he and partner Nicola Mullen (29) were released on bail pending full committal.[52]
Morton were confirmed as safe from automatic relegation on 10 April, when Stirling Albion failed to beat Dundee; condemning themselves to play in the Second Division next season.[53]
Michael Tidser signed a new three-year contract with the club.[54]
