Chris Millar was brought in as a coach for the U15 side.[23]

Morton signed ex-Hamilton Academical defender Jonathan Page on a free transfer.[24]

November

Jake Nicholson signed after leaving Spurs in the summer.[59]

Allan Moore was sacked on 23 November 2013 after a 5–1 home defeat to Livingston.[60] David Hopkin would take interim charge of the club,[61] assisted by Derek Anderson.[62]

Jonathan Page was released,[74] while former St. Mirren striker Jack Smith signed for the development squad.[75]

Riordan didn't appear at training so Kenny Shiels ended his interest in the player.[76][77]

Michal Habai moved to Livingston on a free transfer.[78]

Morton's home match against Queen of the South on 25 January was abandoned after a spectator collapsed from a suspected heart attack.[79]
