On 30 April 2011, the Pars beat Morton to seal promotion back to the SPL.

During preseason manager Jim McIntyre made two goalkeeper signings to bolster the squad.

He signed Chris Smith,[1] after his excellent performance on loan from St Mirren, and Kyle Allison[2] as back up.

Also signed are Ross County's Alex Keddie[3] and Pat Clarke[4] from Dundee.

Pre-season results were awful including a 5-1 hammering by a Manchester United reserve squad.
