Early in the second leg, the danger from his “ridiculous” headed back-pass was only averted by his goalkeeper’s agility, as Stockport went on to win the match 1–0.

Following Wolves’ promotion to the Premier League, Gleeson was made available for transfer. He had played under Roberto di Matteo’s management while on loan at MK Dons, and despite Di Matteo’s departure for West Bromwich Albion and replacement by Paul Ince, he signed a three-year contract with the club on 1 July 2009. the fee, officially undisclosed, was described as nominal. He was used in various midfield positions, including wide on the right, which was not to his taste, and at the base of a diamond, and was encouraged to break up play as well as perform his more accustomed creative role. After a 1–0 win against Wycombe Wanderers in September, Ince said that Gleeson “set the tempo for the game in the first minute with a great tackle and we just pushed on from there.” MK Dons had begun the season as possible promotion contenders, but a strong start gave way to a slide into midtable, in which indiscipline was a factor. By mid-February, the team had received 100 yellow cards, far more than any other; Gleeson was a major contributor with 10, which earned him a two-match suspension. He was booked twice more before his season ended early when he damaged medial knee ligaments.
